Soccer – ahem – football is the most popular sport globally – being played in parks, streets, and fields worldwide. As those of us who have played pickup are aware, squabbles over goals are pretty common, especially if you’re using a crushed pop can as a goal post.

I designed the cover for this month’s Computer Arts Projects Magazine. The issue’s theme is self-promotion, so we went for a wild type-jam of “Promote Yourself.” This was a lot of fun for me, and a huge honor.
