#365 Me 365: I finally finished!! I am beyond thrilled.  I completed 365 posters for the year - doing one per day. If you take a look at the ones in the beginning, you'll see how much my style and technique has changed. I wouldn't have been able to get there without this daily practice in graphic design. While I won't continue to do a poster a week, I'm going to work on a different type of series.

#364 HOPE: I was in a rush tonight because I'm in "conference mode" and have to get back to "conferencing" with other higher education professionals. Playing around with lines and came up with this one.

Guess what??? Tomorrow is the FINAL POSTER!

#363 Quest for Spring: I'm in Houston, Texas and it's been relatively warm here. Definitely not the type of weather that requires a jacket. However, there's a snowstorm that's about to hit New England! When I return, I'll be on the quest for spring.

2 days to go and I will have made 365 posters - 1 for each day! I cannot believe it! 

#362 African Sun: Thinking of natural colors found in African clothes and merging those ideas with the thought that our sunny days are not going to seem longer. Thank you Daylight Savings Time!

#361 And Still I Rise: Dr. Maya Angelou's resiliency.

I’ve been traveling today and I’m now in Texas. Had to keep this one really simple today because I am dog tired!

#360 Birds of a Feather: I'm still in the "land of lines" but mixed in some silhouettes.

5 days to go!

#359 Me, Myself, & I: Today was a busy day since I am gearing up to travel in the next two days.  I heard this Beyonce song come on and thought I'd do a quick poster featuring those words. I still have to pack for this trip! YIKES!

6 days to go!

#358 In the Cards: I was thinking about a deck of cards and how there are so many games you can play with a simple deck of 52 cards. Kinda like designing something. You just need a few basic design skills and you can make pretty much anything.

#357 The First Order: I'm inching closer to the finish line with these posters. Tonight I wanted to do something in pop culture..so here's a Stormtrooper. They don't have the best aim but they do have cool helmets.  

#356 Tranquility: I spent most of the day working on projects for clients and was creating this lotus flower for one of them. I love how it turned out and decided to use it for today's design - Plus I just wanted to focus on the Academy Awards. hahahaha I love the simplicity of it. Definitely giving me a tranquil feeling.  

#355 Bullet Bill: If you had a Nintendo then you know exactly what inspired this poster.

10 more posters to go and I will have completed my personal challenge of a poster a day for 1 year. I can’t even believe I have done this many and never skipped a day!

#354 Spilled Milk: Don't cry over it. 

#353 I Am Groot: Today this character popped into my head. I started thinking how cool it would be to create an illustration of him. It was a little challenging but I love how it turned out. I probably could have added more detail but that could have mucked it up.

#352 The Red Balloon: Created this one with the film short, "The Red Balloon" in mind. I remember watching this when I was a kid. There were no words, just a kid with a red balloon that had a personality. 

#351 Peter Piper: When I completed this poster, I immediately heard the song, "Peter Piper" by Run DMC.

#350 What's Up, Doc?: An homage to that wascally wabbit.

#349 Shell Game: Good ol' coconuts. My grandmother would make coconut cakes all of the time and I would always scrap it off. haha I don't mind the flavor, but I don't like the texture. Maybe I should try fresh coconut one day.
