Some pro-ish stuff...
It's not perfect according to industry standards, and I'm always in a continuous learning and improvement process. Among other things (like the over-simplified drawing, to my taste), the text hierarchy was hard to establish for me, as I'm not so great at typography yet... but it's something I actually very much love and am learning more about both at school and in my personal meanderings, so... yay. That being said, I'm pretty happy with this year's poster, for my hospital's Patient Safety Week. The mascot Doug (of my own creation), has become somewhat of an icon throughout the entire Institute, and people really enjoy him so that makes me really proud and happy. Again this year, we'll have a guy dressed up as him.
Anyway, that's that. Huzzah for being an underpaid artist, but who nevetheless gets her kicks. Hopefully I'll be as good as I'd like to be, someday! Here's another stepping stone.

@mtears - Well not a rush, but I do have a small twinkling of ego hahaha
Cool. I like the colors. What media are you working with?
And... err... IMHO, comics (like "Sergio Aragonés' Groo The Wanderer", or "Usagi Yojimbo") tend to show better application of typography, though it's referred to as lettering. :D
@haloed - Ou est le jeudi? :P
@Lakakalo - Well, i'm not much of a letterer. But thanks.
Be super. Be safe. I am Doug.
