Often times, upon completion of presentation of a project, I wait a little bit afterward and then look at it again, to see whether or not I hate it yet.\u00a0 So many times in my life I\u2019ve made something, been very pleased with it, but then 1-2 days later I\u2019ll look at it again but instead be completely disgusted with the things I create.\u00a0 Regardless of what people might think or say about the things I make, when the day is over I am my very own worst critic and the true litmus test on whether or not I decide something I\u2019ve created is satisfactory depends primarily on how I feel about it a little after it\u2019s been out in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technically speaking, I am the creator of Arby\u2019s Saucy_AF typeface<\/a> they\u2019ve released, as part of their marketing juggernaut team that I can proudly say that I know several members of.\u00a0 I\u2019m not the one who made the intricate characters out of sauce, nor was the person who photographed them, but I am the designer who vector outlined everything, and turned said artwork into a fully-functional typeface.\u00a0 If I knew how to find out how to view the credits of a typeface, I\u2019d totally show off the screengrab my name in them, but for now I\u2019ll just have to settle with the private satisfaction of knowing that this is my work, and that I can also proudly say that I got to legitimately be a contributor to the Arby\u2019s marketing team that is the envy and a shining star of marketing creative throughout the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Few things are more satisfying than working with people you know you work well with and producing creative that I can be proud to say that I had a hand in.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And a few days after this was released onto the wild internet, I don\u2019t hate it.\u00a0 I\u2019m pleased to see what Arby\u2019s has done to release the font, and save for Reddit, I\u2019ve been pleased to see the general reception of Saucy_AF to the random people of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, I think this can be chalked up as a pretty successful project, and whenever the day comes in which I actually take time to update my resume and portfolio, I\u2019d be inclined to include my inclusion in this project among the notable clientele I\u2019ve worked for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, I don\u2019t really spotlight the things I do in my actual career-related life.\u00a0 But often times the thing I do professional aren\u2019t always creatively gratifying or they\u2019re kind of overflow grunt work for clients that don\u2019t want to do it themselves, and they\u2019re willing to pay me to do it for them instead.\u00a0 This is different however; it\u2019s fun, it\u2019s not too serious, and it\u2019s in conjunction with a team of creatives that I\u2019m pleased to be able to say I worked with on an official capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

More importantly, later down the line maybe I\u2019ll look back at the litany of things I\u2019ve written and find this and remember how pleased I was to be a part of this.\u00a0 That\u2019s more often than not the reason why I take time to write things out in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
