Faux-Beau is Kathryn Proulx
Faux-Beau is designed, coded, and written by me, Kathryn Proulx, a senior in Communication Design at Parsons School of Design in New York City. In terms of design I have a focus in editorial deisgn and web design/development, I also enjoy silkscreening and illustration. I've interned at W Magazine and ArtSpace, a contemporary art gallery in New Haven, Connecticut. Im still inspired to learn something new about typography and design everyday. I currently live in Connecticut with my boyfriend and commute to New York by train 3 days a week.
Faux-Beau is You
Faux-Beau is intended for artists, designers, aspiring and practicing design students, and creative people in general to be inspired to create, learn, and progress on their own creative journey. I encourage current students or recent grads to submit your work to be published on the siteI am interested in giving exposure to the up-and-commers that are usually overlooked by bigger design blogs. Along with posting others work, a big part of this blog is about my own progress on breaking into the design industry. It includes snippets from my everyday life; being an intern, student, and aspiring full-time designer.

Hello. Sorry that I’m leaving a comment irrelevant to the entry, but I’m quite worried… I’m planning on applying for Parsons in year 2010, and I did the Parsons Challenge. However, my topic was my great-grandmother, who is, well, a person in my familiar surroundings. I presented her in the perspective of her child, herself, and the nurse/maid. Do you think I should redo my challenge since the theme is not an “object, event, activity, or location” that is “new” or “overlooked”? For the perspective of her child, I drew her sitting on her wheelchair. For the one of herself, I drew her putting on make-up. As for the last point of view, I drew her raising her fist, which she often does at the nurse/maid.

I think if you are proud of the work that you are submitting, and feel strongly about it then there is no need to change it. However, what makes your grandmother ‘overlooked’ or ‘new’?
