I don't allow myself to get a big head about much, but I think I'm OK at matters of design. Thusly, I'm often trying to get the editorial department at my newspaper to take advantage of my skills & fill more space with infographics. Nothing says accesible like padding your news with infographics. One of the night editors & I often drool over the International Newspaper Association awards yearbooks, full of big full-process color spreads explaining stuff. So! I was naturally thrilled when the managing editor came to me, totally flummoxed: they were running an article on a local woman, who had discovered her grandmother's collectin of international toilet papers from her travels. There was a scrapbook of them, hundreds of samples of bum-tissue. He had a few scans of the papers & a (grainy, tiny) photo or the grandmother, and had no idea how to fit them into the story. I saw it before he even finished explaining: a map of Europe, with the samples pointing to their origins, made slightly gauzy through the magic of Photoshop. This left a void in the center, but I figured that out too.

I am especially proud of my stupid quickie, 5 minute roll of toilet tissue.
