Blood Type A Positive Sara Barnett, A History Born and raised in Southern IL, I grew up on a steady stream of Legos, Nintendo, family road trips, Disney videotapes, stitches, bike rides, drawing, wrestling with my brother, softball, and local theatre. I decided to study my passion for design at Rend Lake College in Ina, Illinois. RLC only furthered my thirst for knowledge, and, at 20, I moved to MO to pursue design at Stephens College.

As my schedule constantly changes, with meetings, classes, appointments, and gatherings, the outline above is a general timeline of my day. Throw in some music (my entire iTunes collection is 16.2 days worth!), my tumbler filled with ice water, driving, and time to manage my curls — you’ve got my complete day. No, it’s not the most exciting or interesting, but I like it. I might get “crazy” every once in a while and attend a half-price movie or local theater

performance — surprises can be fun. Other than that, you may find me walking my dog on a cool evening, baking cupcakes to bring home to my family, playing Nintendo with my brother, cleaning, laughing, volunteering with the local Kiwanis chapter, rehearsing for a concert, or even buying home goods at World Market that I probably do not need. Feel free to document any of my schedule changes on page 11 within the “Notes” section.

" But what could I possibly have left to learn about her?" you ask to yourself. Graphic design changes, and so will I. Document any important information you feel will benefit you in the future. Like how I think Comic Sans is the hottest type face (let's hope this never happens) or how I fell asleep during my haircut last week. Here's your blank canvas, get to it.
THANKS!
Thank you (yes, you!) for taking the time to read this publication. Feel free to contact me at any time. I would love to meet in person and show you my work. I’d be honored to make your acquaintance. Also, I'm free this Saturday if anyone is playing field hockey in the park.
None of us like to think about catastrophe, but when emergency strikes, will you be prepared? Sure, you have bandages, water, dog food, and duct tape, BUT will you know trivial facts about me? Probably not. I’ve stayed up late worrying about such things, and I’ve created the perfect solution — The Sara Barnett Field Guide .
