My Bulletin Board

One thing I really enjoy is my 4 foot by 4 foot bulletin board.  It covers almost a whole wall, and it's such a fun place to put pictures and other stuff.  I think I have almost 100 pictures on there, and some other things, like quotes and design items that I like.  The board is a combination of 16 squares that are each 12x12 sections, so it divides up neatly in little pieces.  Around the edges are pages like this, with photos, and some full 12x12 photo collages.

A few things have changed since I took the pictures, but they will still give you an idea of what my bulletin board is like.

For that section, I stuck a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper on the bulletin board and then put pictures on top, almost like a scrapbook page.  Those tape frames are from Kitschy Digitals.  I have three other sections that look a lot like this, two big photos, and two collages of a bunch of little pictures.

I did a similar thing with this section, but I used quotes instead of pictures.

On another section of the bulletin board, I put the box from one of my Creating Keepsakes prizes on, and stuck some notepads in it.  That's handy because I always know I've got a piece of paper when I need one.

Then, in the middle of my bulletin board, I have four sections all covered in design items - like an inspiration board.  Here are some pictures of that.

In this picture... a POG for the Smog Federation... I loved these things when I was little and I thought the design was neat and a little retro looking. And also graphic items for Give Uganda Water and Next.

 
And in this one... a neat bag from Design House Stockholm, and one from Charlotte Russe (love their logo!).  There's also a random vintage photo I found in a used book.  And there's a Wacom ad, a Sunglass Hut gift card holder (haha, funny story behind that...), a little card from a small pizza shop (to remind me that small businesses need good design too!), a picture of Nashville, and some other stuff...

And here are two things designed by the great graphic designer I got to do an internship with this summer. It was such a great experience and it's fun to see some of her work!

And here's my color wheel... I haven't used it a whole lot, but it's fun to look at and get accustomed to where the colors are on it.

And here's a Bingo card, a Reilly business card, and a user's manual for my iPod.  I love the simplicity and epic minimalism of Apple's design.  And then a Vera Bradley card... I like the typography of that logo.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my bulletin board!  Do you all have bulletin boards or inspiration boards?  I'd love to know what kind of stuff you stick on yours!
