tastebud lives

For Professional Practice, our classes has almost completed our first project with a client. Our work is coming together and becoming complete and whole. All of the piece, from the poster to the web site, have a similar design and feel like one. I have been working on the guide booklet that list farmers, restaurants, farmers markets, non profit organizaitons, artisans, and grocery stores. All of the restaurants which are listed use produce from the farms. We have had a huge turnout of partners; in all we have over fifty listings. This is remarkable and quite amazing to know that there are over 50 farms in the chattanooga and surroudning areas. Each farm does not produce/grow just fruits or vegetables, there are quite a few farms who raise chickens/meat/honey. This project has been an eye opener to realize how important it is to buy and support local farms/restaurants/grovery stores. There are a lot of benefits to buying local and it allows the money to stay within our economy here in chattanooga.

This week the class is wraping up projects and going to print. My team (the print team) will be finishing the guide and smaller guide (“TasteBuddy”) and sending it to print. We are making final revisions and it is almost complete. It has been quite the learning experience. I have learned  great deal and this experience will gugde me in my career later on in life. I have worked and meet indivduals who are devoted to this project. Every one who is involved with this project is so on fire and it is showing.
