I spent an hour working on these thumbnails. It is a good amount of time to be working on these things. Not too long that you get invested in the nuances of the typography, but enough that you would have something to talk about. I spent an hour prior brainstorming, coming up with ideas related…

Watching the pigment from the crayons melt with water was fascinating, that same enchantment when…
