I used to have fun making icons. Now I just spend 15+ hours a week drawing squares and butterflies. I think I spent an average of about 50 hours or more on each project. They're a lot of work.
Some of you haven't seen any of my work, so I want to show you. No, some of these aren't great. These are some of the graphic design projects that I worked on in school. One of them is a work in progress, so don't hate!
It's good that designers don't have to be good artists because my drawings are lacking so very badly in the aesthetic department.
