I've been collecting random bits and images from my email over the past few weeks and thought I'd share. Email marketing and strategy is for work. Email collages are for fun. Sometimes they collide.

Last year I challenged myself to a personal design project. My goal was to create at least 5 non work-related designs each week, and each month I gave myself a mini challenge. It was a lot of fun, stretched me as a designer, and kept me away from silly time-wasting TV shows I didn't need to watch. So, I'm going to do it again.
My first challenge is to finish the Sketchbook Project that I didn't complete. It's never to late to start...er finish...right? The theme of my sketchbook was "Things You find on Restaurant Napkins", so I'm going to continue with restaurant / food-related designs for the next few weeks.
I'm also throwing in another challenge for myself. My train commute is about 75 minutes long and my goal is to have something ready to post in that 75 minutes. Whew! Enough challenges?
Here's No. 1: Feeding the Fast Food Crave
Seeing the neon sign makes me very hungry. Sitting in my car, feeding the fast food crave. Living the American Dream.
This one's been finished for a while but for some reason life is taking over design and I've decided that's got to stop! I am excited to announce that I've joined The Sketchbook Project, so my Design a Day project will probably be put on hold until the end of the year. The Sketchbook Project is a very cool social endeavor - any artist can join, fill their sketchbook, and return it to Sketchbook headquarters by January 15, 2011. The sketchbooks will be exhibited in galleries and museums all across the country! After the tour, the sketchbooks will enter the permanent collections in the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Until then - here's design 109:
