Top Five Favorite Phi Sig Shirts

I know my posts lately have been kind of over-the-top sratty but this is (probably) the last one for a while--promise!!! Inspired by Hannah from The Pink and Green Prep and the fact that we just got a really cool new PR shirt I wanted to post my top 5 favorite Greek life shirts I have received so far.

 Here we go: 

1. Our PR shirt for Spring recruitment this year! Loved the cotton candy colors (definitely helped to fake a tan!)

2. The Cinco de Drinko shirt from a few years ago.


3. These are the ones we just got today! So different from Phi Sig's usual style but so cool. I can't wait to it with high-waisted jean shorts, white shorts, or black skinny jeans. I also think this is a really cool style of shirt.

4. This is a super old shirt that I received in one of my big/little baskets last year. It kind of only looks good when you're tan but that means its only for special occasions:)

          
5. I am absolutely obsessed with everything there is about this shirt. It was last year's Cinco de Drinko shirt. I accidentally ripped it earlier this weekend and I am actually so upset about it :(

iPhone Games

I have never been a big iPhone game person. I had a short stint with Words With Friends and an even shorter stint with Temple Run, but I never hoped on the Angry Birds bandwagon and that 4 Pics 1 Word game just annoys me. 

Enter Icomania.

Icomania
Maybe its the fact that I've been taking graphic design classes all year but the little icon pictures are just so cool. I love this game because its just the right level of difficulty. I've spent enough time at Target and running errands with my mom that all of the brand names are at the very least vaguely familiar to me. Basically they simplify pictures of characters, brands logos, and famous people and you have to guess what they are.

This is the first one they give you. They start out pretty easy but they can get tough!! Allie showed me IconPopBrand and IconPopQuiz I like even better. On Icomania if you get stuck you can't move forward unless you cheat and Google it or bother everyone you know by waving your phone in their face and asking if they know what this picture means. But on IconPopBrand and IconPopQuiz you can click any of the pictures and guess as you please.


It's so addicting.
You're welcome.

Typography Obsession

I have to take an intro to graphic design course this semester as part of my Newhouse core. I was really nervous for this class because I had heard that it was really difficult, but I have been loving it so far! Luckily I am taking it with a professor that I have already had and liked, and she's actually opened my eyes to how ridiculously cool typography can be. 

Our first project is to create a personalized wordmark for our résumés. Here is what I have created/been taking inspiration from so far:
