One Love Generation meets SCAD iDO

      The Interior Design Organization, iDO, is an organization at SCAD for the interior design department. I had the honor of receiving a position on the board as the Undergraduate Event Coordinator this 2011-2012 academic school year. 
     Being a part of a team means that ideas are a beautiful collaboration of a team, not an individual. Thus, I proposed that the funds from our bake sale not go to some haphazard cause. In doing some research I found out about One Love Generation. They are a group, here in Atlanta, and invested in helping the youth find their artistry. Mentors come and volunteer their time to assist in the company and education of the youth. Our contribution was to donate all the funds from both the Halloween and Valentine's bake sale to this organization.

  
As part of iDO, a bake sale was incorporated to raise funds for the club to finance future projects and events.
T-Shirts were sold branded with the iDO brand. I brought my vintage gum ball machine from home to provide some free incentive for students walking by to take a moment to stop and see what our organization was promoting. The table was located in the hub (AKA college's cafeteria).

The large cupcake, used here as a backdrop for the sale table, was made out of cardboard.
I had taken cardboard boxes, I had lying around the house, and bound them together and then painted it with acrylic paint to make a larger than life cupcake. Even though the decorations of the table do not necessarily have a part in the philanthropic mission I'm so excited about, it still none the less provided a fun approach to the previously dull iDO table.

Halloween Festivities


The festivities took form throughout the entire house. I must admit that the most effective and (quite honestly the most difficult to dissemble) were the dynamic spider webs creating an interior throughout the entire house. Hand prints on the glass windows that look like blood, spider webs throughout the house, food that looks like other things (non edible) were all included to make a Halloween never to forget! I know so, and I hope the 65 other people that came would agree!
 Halloween is a celebration many adults take part in. Post teenage years don't discourage adults from partaking in the festivities and costumes that come with the holiday. This year was a blast! I haven't personally taken part in Halloween, but my fellow classmates were itching for a break from school and... well twist my arm to get everyone together!

Stewart Wegman (AKA Pirate) hosted the party at his house. Here he is holding Duffy (AKA Little Devil) his West Highland Terrier




For devilishly good treats, these little cupcakes were made. They look like owls... but lo and behold they're delicious cupcakes and oreo eyes.
As well, this cake was meant to look creepy... Like a scary skull. That was the intent.
