There comes a day in every designers life when they first see something they've worked on out there in the real world. And I don't just mean like that flyer I might have done for the neighborhood 10k, or that one dude's website, but something really out there. Today is my very first day for that feeling. There's been stuff, like a tire ad for BMX magazine that I never saw or whatever, but this... this is really in a store, on a shelf and I'm totally geeking out that fact. Weird thing about where I work is stuff like this takes forever to see the light of day. It's been practically a year since this was on my desk. I'd really forgotten it until my project manager told me she saw it. Then I immediately emailed my mom and behaved like a little pre-madonna artsy brat the rest of the day. And by rest of the day I mean I'm still showing up to work late and acting like answering the phone is beneath me.
I can't wait till the good work hits market...

Until I get the packages properly shot, screengrabs will have to do.
