i love my profession, and there's always something new and weird and sometimes creepy about book design. I may hate the process sometimes, but that's more in terms of the content or in working relationships with people, rather than the overall design process. ...also i love books as a reader. And book sniffing is A-OK so long as they're not from the library, imo.
Made this little pocket altar earlier this year and take it with me in all of my bags as a good luck charm. In it are little charms passed down throughout my family, a locket with pics of my parents in it, a ballerina from a bracelet my great grandma gave me at my first dance recital (when I was 3), and a mini Polaroid of my cutie gf π₯Ήππ«
