Maybe I won’t take up graphic design for a living

I had an interesting (and long) day designing a postcard to advertise Speakeasy Dead on one side, and a friend’s indie game called Gangster Dice on the other. The game was recently funded on Kickstarter and is going to feature an appearance by none other than Bernard Benjamin himself. I haven’t played it yet, but from what I’ve heard, it’s a hoot!

Work in progress

Of course, in order to put the QR code (which you can use with a smartphone app to link directly to a website, among other things), I had to generate a separate landing page for Speakeasy Dead….which meant a fast overhaul of my website. While I was there, I put up the beginnings of what will be page for my new Contemporary Romance series, set to release January 7, about which details will be coming later.

THEN, when all was done, I found out the card size I set up is 1/2 inch too big for the Gangster Dice box. Better now than after they’re printed, right?

So…back to the design board. Tomorrow. Or maybe next week. I’ve got a contemporary romance to finish, after all.
