inspiration e-zine: issue three.

It's that time again! Oooh, I LOVE the end of the month!

Design for Mankind has yet another eZine treat for you; I can't believe 'Inspiration' is in its third issue already! It seems like yesterday, yes?



Anyway, click here to download [for FREE!] your very own [30+ pages!] copy of Inspiration.
OR, email me right here (subject line "ZINE") if you'd like a glossy copy mailed to you for $5.

Also, feel free to check out Inspiration's back issues here and here.
AND, if you'd like to be included in the monthly mailing list announcing the release of the e-zine, email me at designformankind@gmail.com (subject line "MAILING LIST.").

Love to you, and be inspired.
[p.s. Taking a break tomorrow, but do visit Wednesday for regular (and fabulous!) posting.]

It's my pleasure--- truly! :)

welcome.

because beauty lies in the details of design. in the pencil shavings, in the blueberry waffles. the vintage dress, framed portrait, old postcard.

design is inevitable. celebrated. design for mankind.
