sntgd task + exciting x info

so this week's ntgd task threw me off slightly, each task gets more difficult, but i suppose that's the point of the contest. i'm really starting to doubt myself under the talents of other designers, my rope is burning close to my ass

anyway this is my graphic for this weeks task, which was to portray tokyo.

(it's quite the big one, click to enlarge!)

i got second top photo this week. i don't know, but i'm just disappointed in myself. i suppose i could have tried harder.

before this turns into my online diary of thoughts, let's move on

production for the next issue of x is moving along well, a concept has been grounded and editorials etc are being planned. i can exclusively reveal the issue shall be released sometime around may/june.

oh and,
