2012 Recap: April-June

April

I researched travel posters for a school project (I decided on this one).
My oily face was driving me crazy, so I complained about it. Exciting, no? ;)
I discovered Somebody That I Used to Know, by Gotye, and played it 20,000 times.
My Etsy design shop finally started taking shape.
I reminisced about my favorite Disney movies. Have you seen them all?
Sometimes the best way to go forward in a design is to START OVER! Lesson learned.
A funny story about a r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w barista I encountered.
I got sea-sick inside my own house. No joke.
An illustration that perfectly captures the blank looks I get from people re: graphic design.
