First assignment of the semester. Class: Typography 1 Assignment: using only black text and two typefaces. Create an image with opposite words interacting. My words were free and confined as a way to represent the prison system in the United States and the incarceration of children. The word free is leaving and flying from confinement as to show how being free comes and goes. Our own confinement comes from varying areas; abusive partners, restricting politics, corporations dictating our wages and leaving people in poverty. The truth is we may be free in one aspect but confined in others. #unlv #unlvrebels #unlvstudents #unlvsrwc #college #collegelife #college_diaries #collegedays #unlvrunninrebels #vegaslife #vegascrew #frommysketchbooktowalkingart #graphicdesign #artistsoninstagram #artwork #freehandart #graphicart #sketchbook #sketchaday #artistalley #art #artgram #artist #graphic_arts #artstyle #artislife #graphicdesigncentral (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rXyHxhYY3/?igshid=q9emhi0u33yj

Probably the biggest and greatest thing that happened to me this year was finding a place where I felt welcomed. I’d never thought of work at a place like the SRWC at UNLV but working here has been a true blessing of which I can’t thank enough for the people who brought it into my life. I was volunteering one day just trying to go by my day when I ran into two amazing people who offered me a chance to work on campus. I applied and luck would have it got the job. I’ve had various different jobs but this one has definitely been my favorite. From reconnecting with old friends to making new ones to learning what it truly means to work as a team I really feel like I’ve found a place I can enjoy working. So yea that’s my first year of college summed up in three long ass posts. It was many things but to say the least it wasn’t boring. Here’s to more years in college and to finding a place I can feel proud to be at. Special thanks to my co workers @lisako12 @marthahall23 @jensen.radley15 and Sydney, I’d post for all of them but I don’t have pictures with all my co workers and I don’t have their instas lol, but know they’re a great team and great, amazing people. Also special thanks to @jannelvyy and Latoya for giving me this chance. #unlv #unlvrebels #unlvstudents #unlvsrwc #college #collegelife #college_diaries #collegedays #unlvrunninrebels #vegaslife #vegascrew #collegefriends #1yeardownalifetimetogo (at UNLV SRWC Rec Center)
