there are just so many books – i’m quite excited about these three right now. for the love of light: a tribute to the art of Polaroid is a limited edition (i have #289 of 500) beautiful collection of polaroid photography. this is an absolute must have. get a copy before they sell out! i’ve heard a lot about adrian shaughnessy’s book, How to be a graphic designer, without losing your soul. i decided to get this one after reading the table of contents – it covers all designers levels from employee’s to entrepreneurs. now the last book, stefan sagmeister’s Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far. the title says it all. this flawless presentation catalogues what sagmeister has learned over the past 5 years as a successful artist/designer.

One of the most recognizable buildings in chicago. Due to the large number of photos of these buildings, I wanted to take a different tact. Just showing one of the buildings, blowing out most of the sky and having fun with the coloring.
