It’s been a while since my last post, and boy have I been busy – finals rushing toward me, projects about, specifically for IBE Freshman Workshop. If you didn’t read the post below this, Venti is the name of the team I’m on. Myself and three other students have formed a mock company and created a aesthetic prototype of our product. Today, we are releasing a full poster of information about Venti – the culmination of all of our research. Please look at the poster! It’s one of the nicer projects I’ve done to date – I’ll be making a matching keynote for our group to present to an audience of mock investors on April 23rd.

The style is taken directly from the Venti website, enhanced and updated. The Venti website will be receiving a similar update with information and graphics from the poster, as well as a link to the poster. Make sure to check the Venti website soon for the update, because it’s going to be massive! This poster has provided excellent material to build off from – especially for our group’s presentation.

By the way, thank you everyone for sending me emails about Hide and Seek. Its just a huge pleasure to learn that so many collegiate groups are interested in using my transcription, and I encourage you all to learn it and record it!

In addition, to those of you emailing me about the Maple Story Soundtrack, I will be updating the tracks this weekend with new tags to get rid of and sort the unknown tracks. However, once I do this the soundtrack will no longer be updated – I’m through with that thing. I really should be focusing on updating my portfolio and redesigning this site (especially after seeing my friend Kyle Wynen‘s new blog).

It only took me several years, but I’ve included a favicon at last onto this blog. I can’t believe I never did. I think it’s a pretty nice favicon as well!

It matches the site and will probably even look great on an iPhone or iPod Touch. So, with that off my chest, I’d like to announce my latest work – I’ve been doing quite a bit of work for IBE Workshop, a product development class I’m taking the semester. The product my team of four has been tasked with developing is a humidifier for vehicles such as cars and trucks. I’ve created a brand image and company identity for this product – I call it Vënti. And we’ve got a website, too.

Vënti will, with any luck, be the most versatile humidifier for any vehicle out there – but we’re still making big changes to the device, and we’ll have a working prototype made by the end of the course. I’m actually incredibly excited to see this amazing yet simple device come to life after the entire design and development process. We’re moving forward into business at the moment, so I’m pretty much settled on a design for the product. I’ll have much more to show about Vënti in the coming weeks, so watch out for that!

On the side, I’d like to mention that I’m 20% through editing The Typist! I’ve never gotten this far into editing a novel before. I’m going to finish this one, I swear it! The writing is actually half-decent – better than any novel I’ve written thus far – so I think it has real potential.
