My goal as a designer is to make sure my clients are happy and my designs are effective.
That said, I'm always thrilled when I get some validation from my design peers, as happened last week, when I found out several of my designs were included in
The New Big Book of Layouts (produced by
Crescent Hill Books and published by
Harper Collins).

I immediately ordered a copy and while I haven't had a chance to look through the book at my leisure, I did flip to the pages that included my work. All the greeting card designs shown below were done when I still had my paper goods company,

And this fun invitation was done for a style lounge at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival:

It was a bit awe-inspiring to realize that these invites were sent out to major stars like Dennis Quaid, John Legend, and Felicity Huffman (all of whom I had the pleasure of meeting at the event)! You can read more about it
