It's been a long time

I decided (as I always do) that it's time to start blogging again, but, like always, life will kick me in the butt and I won't touch this thing for a year or so again.

I am so blessed now to be working for the University of Notre Dame as the guest services house manager at the Marie P. DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts. It's an awesome job and I'm learning a lot and it has been a great month.

My brother just got married on 9-10-11 and now he and his wife are both RJM! Congrats to the two lovebirds!

Well, I should be headed back to bed, as insomnia woke me up at 2 am, thank goodness I don't have work til the afternoon!

WWF & Coke Logo

I created this logo for my Business Problem Solving course. The case we did was about Coca-Cola's use of the polar bears, and how the environment affects the polar bears and what Coke is doing about it. There is actually a partnership of sorts with Coke and WWF, so I thought it would be cool to merge the two logos.

Classified Ventures - Apartments.com

December 2008 - January 2009

I was hired as the Design intern for the Product Development department of Apartments.com, a product of Classified Ventures.

"Classified Ventures, LLC ("CV") is a strategic joint-venture 100% owned and funded by five large media partners whose objectives are to collectively capitalize on the revenue growth in the real estate and automotive online advertising categories.

Apartments.com is a company that helps find people apartments. It also has a manager center and landlord resource center. Another helpful tool for tenants is the moving center, as well as the Apartment Living newsletter and article database.

My job consisted of a three week internship over the holiday break, I was given several different projects to help the company with, which included the following:

• Designing a "submit photos" logo.
• Designing a new layout for the Apartment Living e-newsletter
• Designing an up and coming development for moving center

These and the other projects that I had at Apartments.com can soon be found on my website, www.kristarose.com.
