Social Networking Updates
Muse and the Marketplace
This year I was presented with the opportunity to once more donate my efforts to the nonprofit writers organization, Grub Street. Muse and the Marketplace is their annual conference that helps blossoming writers connect with professionals in the writing and publishing worlds. My task: Create a fresh and exciting design that captured the spirit of the conference. My inspiration: Saul Bass.
