As with almost any other product, when it comes to design you get what you pay for. I recently experienced a great example of the tragedy that can result from cheaping out on design. A client of mine, Equip 2 Conceal, is partnering with an upcoming S.E. Wisconsin Hunting & Fishing Expo, where they will provide gun safety training classes. The expo will be putting out a small postcard flyer to advertise, and one side of the flyer will be dedicated to advertising the class taught by Equip 2 Conceal.

I'm really excited about my ongoing photography project I call Tiny Worlds, and want to give you a preview of my ultimate plan for it.
