But this morning I stumbled upon this senior thesis project (below) from illustrator Jim Tierney's portfolio, and I remembered what it was like to be your own client.
Don't get me wrong, I love all my clients. But the days before disclaimers and copyrights, sponsor and partnership logos, were beautiful, uncluttered days.
This afternoon I dug out some of my college project boards, reminiscing over what worked and what simply didn't. Above, is a project I was particularly found of: I built a fictitious, reader supplied literary magazine, titled Rough. And below, is evidence that my Pacman fascination is deep-rooted. This was a spread for an article on video games and the American youth.

Anyhow, I've come to the end of memory lane. It's back to a road filled with deadlines and small print.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! I saw those book jackets on some website and wanted them all. Not to read. Just to display.

I particularly love how Tierney's covers are "interactive" and cut in unexpected ways.
