The call of the code and pixels was too much!
Yeah, I have no idea what I’m thinking, or if I’m thinking at all! Yet leaving a full-time salaried position in this economy for the shark-infested waters of freelance web and graphic design is exactly what I’m doing. As terrifying as quitting a job can be, I’ve never felt this confident with my combined skillset before. So for the immediate future, here’s a laundry list of tasks and observations (T & O):

Never burn your bridges. Period. An unbelievable opportunity from an unexpected source!
Back where it all started!
I started a new job right around the time I last posted here in September. Which was convenient considering who I was doing websites for wasn’t paying me any longer.

Self-inflated importance is delicious.
Look! I’m an über-important designer!

Whatever. Bodoni Poster is super-retro-trendy right now so it’s no stretch to use it in work such as this. Although I recently used FritzQuadrata on a logo that a client loved. So yeah, I’m a serified baller. Oh snap - serified! Another poster!
I’m a frickin’ genius!
Anyway, if you’re interested check out some of the other typo pieces I’ve posted on Flickr.
