WRAP UP
a cold one
My husband usually picks out his own beer. He’s a home brewer and more than a little picky about his commercially made beer. But, on occasion, I pick up a “Pick 6” pack from the grocery store. My rule of thumb is to pick 3 beers I’ve actually seen him consume, and the other 3 I pick out based on the design of the label. No joke. Works EVERY time. If you understand beer labels, then you might also know why it is no surprise when people judge a book by its cover. This next Call is just for you…
Check out this Call for Entries from the 3×3 Magazine for the Picture Book Show. I love this show. There are phenomenal designers and illustrators who never get their due. Maybe this is the chance…
