I can never decide. (AIGA Postcard due tomorrow.)

I think sometimes that is the hardest part of designing, when I make enough things that I have a choice of what will be final. I love the mitten, that has never been a question. So when things like the Let's Save Michigan Poster Contest, or this most recent AIGA Detroit Wish You Were Here Postcard Contest comes around... I feel like I get out my suitcase of Michigan memorabilia and go to town in 50 directions.

Well I did manage to narrow it down... submitting the postcard with the tiny squirrel on it. How cute is that?

Its from a photo I took in Harrietta, at the Caberfae overlook. I love the trees up there at about 4 pm when the sun is behind them. Anyway the postcard is my recreation of the image in Illustrator. Yes it has a lens flare, but I believe its an appropriate use. Maybe not but the tiny squirrel is effing heart melting. Holla!

Things I thought were winners...

But my clients maybe didn't. Well, that wasn't always the circumstance sending these recent works to their archival folder in the sky. This is their one chance to see the light of your LED, but if only for a moment. Goodnight sweet posters, goodnight.

AIGA Postcard

The Colorado AIGA participated in a HOW Lounge at the HOW Conference last week in Denver. They sent out a call for submissions for a postcard packet from Denver's finest AIGA members. The theme was to show Denver's pioneering spirit on the postcard. I chose an info graphic to represent my thoughts. Not sure if it was chosen for the postcard pack or not yet, but I thought I'd share!
