I’m Almost A College Graduate Y’all!

If you guys haven’t picked up on it by now, your girl is GRADUATING!

Less posts, less commenting, etc. in this past month – it’s all because I’m gearing up for adult life and trying to make the most of my college life while I can. It will be interesting to see the direction in which Yow Yow! takes after I graduate because this blog was first created when I was just a second quarter freshman here at Seattle University. Together, we’ve grown a lot since then, but as always (and to be extremely cliche,) all things must come to an end.

Yow Yow, however, won’t.

My dear friend Megan Newell recently helped me design a graduation announcement for my big day and she did a phenomenal job at creating one that was truly me.  I am very lucky to have such wonderful and talented friends in my life.

From Love to Bingo: A Stop Motion

Using 873 stock images, BBDO Brazil and director Cisma created this video for their client Getty Images. Usually stock images are something to laugh at, but in this case, this video is just beautiful. The entire research and construction of this project took six months to complete.

How Badly Do You Want To Be A Kid Again?

When the sun comes out, the scooters and bikes are all OVER campus. As soon as I watched this video of the clever creation that entails just attaching a chalk stick to your wheels, I was sold. In fact, I was very close to looking up scooters for myself up on Amazon just now. How pretty would our campus look if we had pieces of chalk art everywhere? I mean…as if our campus isn’t gorgeous enough already.

While this idea seems like a lot of fun, the entrepreneurs who started it or still trying to get the project to stand on its own two feet. Learn more about pledging to the project here.

Disney Movies Go Minimalist

We are most definitely headed into a future where everything becomes much more simplified. There is something about minimalism that gives it the ability to make everything sleek and clean while still providing the same message and information. Too put it simply, I’m just a fan of things that aren’t…cluttered?

Anyways, Rowan Stocks-Moore has put out a new series of minimalist Disney posters and it’s a pretty nice blast from the past. Check them all out here.

Prints are available from Etsy for $20.

Washington (What Is It Good For)

Every state has their own niche. Sometimes it can take a little bit more time to find out what that niche is. This infographic has helped me learn how to appreciate every state the way they are even if I’ve only ever been to a handful of them.

Anyone curious as to what Washington is great at?

“The percentage of non-religious people in Washington is the highest of any state.”

Hooray.

One Year Ago Today

- Seattle Restaurant Week began! This year, it runs through April 8-19. Check out the participating restaurants here.

- We viewed Death Cab For Cutie’s live music video for “You Are A Tourist.”

- We read some news and stuff.

- Madewell debuted their Fall 2011 collection and it was glorious!

- I got a little antsy about summer wedding season. Ashley and I spent 45 minutes watching wedding/proposal videos this evening.

- I wanted to buy some things. What else is new?

Most importantly, I discussed the 21 things I learned from my 21st birthday!

- There were a few things that I was obsessing over and they were awesome. Enough said.

- This infographic already told us what we already knew about the Pacific Northwest.

- This book was pretty cool.

- I wondered why Washington never had any cool prints made for them like this one.

- This is the best excuse I’ve ever seen.

Blue Trees In Seattle

I was absolutely thrilled when I learned that Konstantin Dimopoulos would be painting the trees of Westlake Park in Seattle blue. The act of painting these trees were done for the purpose of raising awareness for the 32 million acres of forests cut down every year. This is also the first time that I have ever been able to witness a design project already featured on my blog beforehand. The trees are gorgeous in person so if you have the chance, go check it out!

Blue Trees

Australian artist Konstantin Dimopoulos has been painting the town in several cities by painting the trunks and limbs of trees using environmentally safe pigments. By working in only urban areas, Dimopoulos hopes to raise awareness for the 32 million acres of forests that are being cut down every year around the world.

Painted trees can currently be found in Melbourne, Vancouver, and Virginia. Next on the stop? Seattle!

Locals, keep your eyes peeled and let me know when you find one!
