Found this while digging through my portfolio archive today.
One of my very first client projects. Back then I had virtually no formal graphic design knowledge, no understanding of grids, hierarchy, spacing systems, or most of the design principles I use every day now.
Looking at it today, I can spot countless things I would approach differently. It probably breaks more layout and design rules than it follows. 😄
But despite all of that, I still think it’s a good piece of work.
Why? Because it worked.
The logo is still being used today in Bamberg, the city where I was born and raised. Seeing something I created years ago continue to exist in the real world is a reminder that every designer starts somewhere.
This project was far from perfect, but it was the beginning. And for that reason, I’m still proud of it.
Sometimes growth isn’t about looking back and seeing mistakes. It’s about realizing how far you’ve come!
