"Real World" School
As a relatively recent college graduate, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on my learning at school versus the learning I’ve experienced in the “real world.” Many a day have I thought, Man, I really wish they would have taught me that in school in some type of “this is really how the business works” class. Of course, there are many things that you cannot learn...

Have you heard of MOTTO? →
This rockin’ design agency hails from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - my home state. I’m drooling over all their work and smart writing. I only remember Myrtle Beach from summer trips in my childhood, but think of the boardwalk and touristy things. These ladies are proof that good design lives in surprising places.

There is...

I don’t know because my mind has been blown.). Their designers are creating full blown book covers in 24 hours or less for the books that are being written in conjunction for their program National Novel Writing Month or...
