As annoying as my boss can be about projects, eventually, they all get done and sent off for printing. As a designer, there is nothing quite like the feeling of having all of your sweat and blood come back to you looking beautiful and perfect! That’s just the feeling I got today when my biggest project to date arrived from the printer. I have been working for nearly 6 months perfecting our 2008 Walker Manual. (I work for a non-profit organization and most of my projects are for one of our biggest events The Light The Night Walk). From using my mediocre Photoshop skills to design a cover to writing 14 pages worth of information to creatively adding pictures and lines and color to make it look great. This project went through about 4 transformations – and we finally ended up back at a version of the first idea I had. I am very proud of my work – and have already slide one of these little guys away into my “portfolio” folder to use someday when I am searching for a new job.
It almost erases all of the crap I was put through in completeing this project – almost – to see it in it’s final form. I can’t wait to get these babies out in the mail and in the hands of the thousands of people who will breifly glance and the cover and throw it away.
