The 'Wrapped' Cover Party

These projects aren't about prizes, or even street cred for that matter. Just about doing SOMETHING... I even cheated and used the Chipotle Burrito in mine.

I think it's awesome that the people below participated. I hope that they continue to participate and challenge themselves with each new project. February's project will be announced later this week!

Here they are: (in no particular order)

Twenty10, proving I am still a designer

So, I've been in the web space for almost my entire career... but how did I get here. Graphic Design. Layout, Text and Images, Quark Express. Can I get a what what for Quark Express... okay fine, maybe not. Either way, I had been learning print design for almost a decade before I went off to college to become a Graphic Artist. 

Here we are now, ten years post graduation and all my portfolio shows is web work, cause that's really all I have done. No more!

For christmas this year I requested, and received, 'Creative Grab Bag - inspiring challenges for designers, illustrators and artists'. And every month I am going to select a project from the book and get back to my roots as a designer.

Without further aduei, project January.
