Some contents pages for the magazine:

This one is more interesting, but I'm not sure about the curve in the lower right.

Perhaps the text needs to play into it more.

magazine cover sketches

I sketched some ideas last week:

and turned them into a rough draft in InDesign:

It needs a background yet. But I like the large bamboo stick vs the column of subheadings on the right. I might switch it around. It's still a work in progress.

Infographic Bill Murray Birthday

Found this infographic this morning on the life of Bill Murray. Maybe it'll help get the creative juices flowing for the next project

Running comic

Disclaimer: I am not a runner. All the other women in my family partake in this odd thing that I have never quite understood, until, perhaps, today.

This is the start of a pretty funny and deep comic. It is pretty long, but well done. I laughed, I thought, I laughed and thought some more. Then I thought I should share this.

Well why on earth didn't anyone tell me there is an actual name for those doodle's I've been creating for years? I absolutely love 2 toned art pieces. Now, some of these zentangles are a little crazy and my eyes start to twitch, but others are absolutely beautiful. Now I'm making it my mission to incorporate a zentangle into one of my graphic design pieces before I graduate.
