For a Love of Books 

London’s bright benches show their love of books, via NPR. Think Chicago could get these, instead of cows?

I think I’m finished! :D

Ready at least to move on. I’ve learned a lot from the project, and I think I’ve improved a lot. There’s so much I need to improve upon, but that just means more practice and this is one step in that direction.

But it should probably be noted that I am not a graphic designer, lol

So cool!
