I’ll just leave it at that.
I’m going to bed. Try to sleep off this inebriation.
My brother is the teaching pastor at a non-denominational church in a community just north of New York City. They’re a very forward-thinking and design-oriented church. So, when they were putting together a year-end report for 2011 they decided that they wanted to make their year-end report more than just a boring stack of paper. They saw how charity:water did their report with style, infographs, and strong images; they wanted something similar. So, they came to me to design it.
It’s been crazy. But tonight we (almost, almost, almost) finished the 20-page report. Just one small stat to throw in once we get it tomorrow. And one other 3-second thing to adjust and it will be done.
And it’s beautiful. I’ll ask them if it’s alright that I share some of it with you guys. I’m really proud of it. And once my personal/portfolio website is back up, this shit is definitely going on their.
Just had to share since this monster is the thing that made me forget to eat this week and kept me up later than my sleep schedule prefers.
But I love design, so, even though I love my sleep and my food, I might love doing art more.

As President Barack Obama delivers his State of Union Address on Tuesday and devises his reelection strategy, he should understand the implications of this statement and act on them. Whether this election will have major consequences for our future and what Obama’s place in history will be could both depend on the willingness of the president and Democrats to do so.
Obama and his advisers are likely tempted to opt for a stand-pat reelection effort because of the improving unemployment numbers. That may be enough to get him reelected. But it won’t be the sort of transformative election that could secure his place in history as a great president — which acting on that FDR statement could achieve.
