Image Dump: Fill the Bus

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

It’s been a while since I did an image dump:

Fill the Bus!

The Fill the Bus project is being run by the Center for Service Learning and Civic Engagement. We needed a very fast turnaround for this. I think it took me about 20 minutes total to create this image in Illustrator.

Interestingly enough, the font (Ravie) was a random pick. I wanted a font that would be fun and bouncy and chose it because it sounded like it might fit. Normally I’m pretty obsessive about font selection, but this time the first try actually worked well. I love it when things work out in my favor.

It occurs to me that I should probably mention that I was interviewed for Beyond Words, a blog for professional writers, editors, and designers. The interview went up about a week ago. Featured in this interview: a really goofy picture of me eating sushi.
