SMSU Enactus in Jamaica

Today's blog is inspired by the recent mail I received from my former college, Southwest Minnesota State University. I was sent SMSU Focus, a magazine for alumni of the school. I was particularly pumped about this issue of the magazine because one of my very best friends was featured on the cover along with a great article about SMSU Enactus (formerly known as SMSU SIFE). Check it out!

Looking great Laura! :) 
While attending SMSU I was also a member of Enactus. Enactus is a worldwide community of student, academic, and business leaders committed to teaching entrepreneurship and free market concepts. The article featured in SMSU Focus talks about one of the greatest and most successful projects SMSU Enactus has ever taken on, and I am personally thrilled that I was able to be involved in it. The team was able to travel to the country of Jamaica 4 times and resurrect a small rest stop located in Faith's Pen, that was on the verge of going out of business. I was apart of the first team that traveled to Faith's Pen and realized I would be able to help in a creative way. I was able to create brochures and banners to promote the business in tourist areas. Check out the full article by clicking the link below the banner above. 

Below is the brochure and banner I created to promote Faith's Pen Rest Stop. The banners, as you can see in pictures in the article, as now placed at each entrance of the rest stop. The brochures are placed in hotels and resorts around Jamaica so tourists are now informed of a place where they can have authentic Jamaican cuisine. So if you are ever in the beautiful mountains of Jamaica, make sure you check out the delicious food of Faith's Pen Rest Stop!

Movember

Hey Ya'll!

Today's post I want to talk about Movember and how a few of my very best guy friends are helping promote it. Movember is a time for men of all ages to try and grow out their best mustaches while also raising money and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer. You can create or join a team on the Movember website at http://us.movember.com/. 

I am particularly excited about Movember because my friends, Matt Breyfogle, Kyle Berndt, Tony Schwebach, Chris DeSutter, and Tanner Barrington have taken it upon themselves to create their own Movember team called "Team: Dumsta Boiz". Although it has only been 10 days, they have some very dirty staches to show off. Check it out!

Hello blogging world! 
My name is Erin Weller and I am a graphic designer who loves to travel, snowboard, wakeboard, play sports, hunt, meet new people, and rock out to music (most of time country). I decided to create this blog so I would be able to share some of my designs, as well as other awesome information I come across that I think the world should know about! :)

My first design I would like to share is my most recent project. It is a logo I designed for my uncle's event planning business, called Penny Tree Events.

 Penny Tree is located at BBB Lodge near Parker, SD. Penny Tree is the perfect place if you are looking to plan a wedding in the country. For more information on both Penny Tree and BBB Lodge check out their websites: Penny Tree Events and Birds, Bucks, and Berries.

For more information about me check me out on Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or follow me on Twitter! :)
