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.

  • So I'm throwing in the towel, waving the white flag...That's a wrap!

    I must say I really enjoyed this challenge. I mean magazine cover just spells photography & typography. Two of my loves, my old love photography & my new love typography. Eat your hearts out... I mean that literally.
