This poster was used mainly for advertising and promotional purposes.

Introducing: The WaMu Gift Account Interactive The account holder opens a secure WaMu Gift Account online. Using an easy-to-customize WaMu template, he or she sends out a secure email or prints out an informational card that can be snail mailed in an envelope (say for example, along with a baby shower or wedding invitation) stating the account is “open” with easy-to-follow instructions on how to deposit into the account.

Title: TomTor ’s “Everything Is More Complicated Then Visible”, is one of my personal book projects. Copies of this limited edition were printed and screen-printed. It was a difficult project for me because I had to learn bookbinding for the first time and believe me; it is not so easy as it looks. Although it appeared seemingly comprehensible, I was faced with one of the most complex and time consuming challenges of bookmaking, but it was great for me and I liked how it turned out. All I really needed was a little bit of patience. If you are interested and would like to purchase the book, please contact me for more info.

Khmer font also comes with Khmer regular, Khmer round bold and Khmer italic, giving endless possibilities to play with for each designer. Please enjoy and your comments are welcomed..

Although Ghita Fashions project a playful and bold side to the spirit of adventure, her dresses still maintain a classical elegance along with art-deco elements of asymmetry, tiered skirts, jumpers, and bubbly hems.
