Week 11 + 12
Little late on this one.
I don't quite remember what day was what, but here are the last couple weeks of my internship.
Week 11: Not Mexican + Morton Salt girl
This was for an article on cultural foods that commonly get confused as being Mexican. Some of the ones featured here are Brazil, Chile, Columbia, and Cuba. The final design was a 3x3 grid of square shots (food or tight portraits).
Illustration for too much salt in our diets.
Week 12: Buildings, Immigrants, School Board, X-Files, Water-ski, HDTV
8/7/2006 - Amanda McClenny, University Gardens resident for 14 years, spoke on Monday about the problems plaguing her home. McClenny, who is currently relocating to another residence inside the complex, said that the water damage and mold in her bathroom had been there for years, and more recently the tiles started falling out. The west Charlotte-based apartments have experienced numerous problems in recent years, with even more troubles after the recent flooding. The city is currently deciding whether or not to demolish the complex.
8/8/2006 - Trent Merchant, an executive search consultant and former teacher, was inducted as the new Board of Education member after Kit Cramer vacated her position. Merchant was the only person nominated at Tuesday's meeting, and received a decisive 8-0 vote.
This was for Doug Smith's column on his "S-Files"... we were going for an X-Files vibe.
8/10/2006 - Derek Estridge and his dad Jim smile after Derek's brief ski ride. Every Thursday afternoon at the Lake Norman YMCA, volunteers teach water-skiing to people with disabilities from across the Charlotte region, in the Y's swimming area on Lake Norman. The Adaptive Sports and Adventures Program has partnered with the YMCA to provide the program to people of all ages. The program has been going on for about 10 years, and helps out participants with many benefits; trunk stability, balance, a sense of independence and confidence. For some participants, it is the highlight of their week and one of the few times where they are constantly smiling. Adaptive Sports and Adventures Program Coordinator Jennifer Moore said, "Just to be out of their chair and to be active, it's huge."
8/10/2006 - Adaptive Sports and Adventures volunteer Kina Atkin works with Daniel Moody to adjust his ski after a fall. Although Moody had been water skiing before, it was the first time he used this particular setup.
8/10/2006 - Some of the volunteers comfort a nervous Derek as they fit him into his ski. Typically, it takes 8 volunteers to assist one skier, who rides for around 15 minutes.
8/10/2006 - Right, second-year volunteer Kina Atkin helps Adam Dunaway (29) out of the water following his ride. Dunaway said the "water feels great," and that with skiing, it "feels like I'm more competitive."
8/10/2006 - 9-year-old Samantha Shout rides with Tomi Swift during her second time volunteering.
I worked on that one with Luke, who is a design badass.
That's it for now!
