Pays to Have a Geek-Artist Boyfriend

July 17, 2008

I’ve been getting a kick out of helping Soon Bok’s Etsy shop Pretty Monsters by designing some labels and her banner image. I guess it’s a relief to design for something you don’t have to worry about 5,000 people using — that is, a sticker instead of website UI. Or to design and not worry how it will be converted to HTML/CSS, ha. Such a heavy cross to bear.

I posted the finished labels to my flickr account.
