Goodbye!
by Irina McGuire | Fall 2010
Goodbye, good night,
So long, adieu!
Ta-ta, all right,
I love you too!
Take care, be well,
I’ll see you soon.
Bye-bye, farewell,
Meet you at noon?
That’s it, it’s late,
Till later, cheers.
Go home. It’s eight!
I’m gone to Sears.
Get rolling then,
I’m ready now,
It’s almost ten,
Ok, then, ciao!
Russian Plov (Rice Pilaf)
Today “plov” is known as the most popular and common dish to Uzbekistan. Although Plov comes primarily from Eastern heritage, it’s well adopted and popular in Russian cuisine. There are various ways to make “plov.” Some use different meats, nuts, dried fruits, spice etc, but the technique remains the same.
Helping Hands
Helping Hands Learning Academy is an early intervention center that serves children with autism and other developmental delays from the ages of 1-5. I was responsible for the logo design as well as Helping Hands Web site design and coding. Some of the Web site functionality included: News and Updates section with posts and comments (powered by WordPress) and show/hide contact information panel.
“Reflections of a Russian Soul”
As a design professional, I have to constantly grow and update my skills. One of the reasons why I wanted to create this blog was to challenge myself in learning the WordPress software and to design my own blog theme, as I have been very inspired by all the creative and beautiful blogs out there. This blog theme was greatly influenced by Russian culture, including the choice of colors and graphics. I wanted it to look warm and personable. As far as graphics, I used some of my personal photographs and keepsakes, including the items from my Russian heritage.
