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.

    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.

  • ugg boots

  • A few days ago, my friend wore a new pair of gucci handbags, it’s the latest this year, he bought online. I love the links of london, but a lot of places to go buy, so I ordered yesterday are online gucci handbags, today sent. Color and quality and on-line description of the almost, I am very satisfied. Next, I would also like to buy a pair of adidas shoes. I think online shopping is convenient and cheap. This year’s Mother's Day, I gave my mother bought a cartier jewelry necklace, now I think online shopping will not have enough troubles, so I decided to send my mother ugg boots next year.

  • Many people like to back burberry handbags, because they think it can appear more noble. But some people prefer burberry bags, also some people just look for a brand, if they like the words on the gucci handbags, gucci brand on the prolonged use of words, no matter how the tide changes, and their preferences is not easy to change. They think that not only allow their own qualities and more, can also better embody their own, so dazzling in front of their own. Some people also like to feature on the point of putting on shoes, such as ugg boots, even though it is the world's most ugly shoes, but is very comfortable to wear, wear it felt very personal.
