after watching sunday night’s televised trainwreck, also known as part 2 of the debate, my first reaction as a concerned canadian neighbour up north, was to cry (until i laughed) for america.

now that the shock has somewhat subsided, i thought, why not look around at some of the good things to have come from this debate, and election in general; most being design-related.

this video of the debate to the tune of ‘i’ve had the time of my life’ shows that the internet is truly a magical place.


the fact that #sniffles was trending; a very sad sign of what could possibly be in store for america.

lastly, that moment where trump referred to himself as a gentleman during the debate. comedy gold; we all know that’s not true.

i recently downloaded the adobe draw app and i can’t get enough! it’s the perfect app for play on my commute.

so far i’ve really only been lettering with it, but today it’s an illustration for a cause.
