Check out my Babies
In the work of a graphic designer, weeks can go by before experiencing the taste of reward. You make all these incredible things on your computer out of pixels and lines and then you send them through the air to a factory that weaves them into paper and metal and shape. And you wait and you anticipate. And you hope...
Then they get sent straight to the client and you don't see them. Your babies! You just want to hold your babies.
Instead you are left with nothing to show for the weeks spent at the screen.
However, eventually they are returned to you, to hold up to the light, to be opened and unfolded and to share with slightly less interested colleagues.
And so now I get to show you a couple things of beauty that I gave birth to in June.
Country Arts WA's Touring Menu 2008.
A publication for regional communities in WA.
Stuart Williams' exhibition/product catalogue for 'Touching Space'.
A gobo style slide holds the booklet.

the gobo-style device is amazing! what i love most about design is that moment when i can hold something i've dreamed up in my hands. when i suddenly realise again that, without me, this object would never have existed; that i managed to drag it from my dream world into the real world.
