Video: Charleston American Cancer Society Hope Lodge

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge Network helps people get well by offering free, home-like accommodations for cancer patients whose best treatment options are far from home.

Glossy to matte: redesigning my poetry book through Createspace

I am obsessive about graphic design. It’s hard for me to look at any logo, poster, movie, album or book without thinking about the fonts, colors or paper that was used. (Everyone smells books, right?) Paper is super important, and I’m in the process of updating some of my older work from a glossy to […]
