Well, it’s been nearly 2 weeks since my birthday. But, I’m a big believer in celebrating for as long as possible. Birthday-week, birthday-month – it’s all good!
This Sherwin-Williams print ad campaign just makes me smile! Continue reading to see more examples.
It’s the end of pixelated logos as we know it! As a graphic designer, sometimes your design requires an official logo. Oftentimes when you request it, you receive a low-res version you can’t work with. This has, of course, happened to me. My solution was a gift from Google: Brands of the World.
Have I mentioned that my favorite band is Weezer? I think I might have… As part of the birthday week festivities, Mr. G got us tickets to see the greatest band EVER at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods!
This is the Colorstrology reading for my birthday. Intriguing and beautiful, isn’t it? Seems I chose the right career to express my creativity! 
Today I begin the last year of my twenties – which is a far cry from the little girl up there, blowing out those 6 candles.

Just before we left Pensacola, Mr. G and I had the fortune of hopping over to New Orleans a couple of times. Both were day-trips – the first was sort of an impromptu-rain-soaked-adventure, and the second was a more planned and sunny jaunt with our parents. I’ve combined the photos from both visits into this one post.
