Red Poppy Creative Studio

This is great! I learned this process along with computers at the same time... in fact, I believe the students were teaching the Professor as much as he was teaching us the computer programs!

Are you a Mac user, what do you think about the change of the Labels to Tags in the new OS? ...I am not happy.

THANK YOU to all of our veterans today and every day, for your service and sacrifice. The inspiration for my studio name:

In Flanders Field

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
John McCrae

My volunteer work with Honor Flight Chicago has been a wonderful experience. This year I worked with another volunteer to rework the HFC website, she did the programming and I did the design. I'm pretty happy with the outcome, the navigation is so much better that it used to be.

When you do concept designs, do you show you client your least favorite, or just include the ones that you like the best?
