I spent some time with my Dad’s side of my family this weekend and half of my time was spent in my cousin’s office. She is the head of graphic design at the Buckle (a clothing store chain in the US).
Family can teach you a lot and in this case it is relevant to design/art:
1) if you need a print piece done fast, seven people, four computers, a large format printer, a fast scanner and room to fold and staple is a perfect solution
2) creativity and design ACTUALLY mean a lot to people
and
3) old photos are one of the best ways to learn about your family history.
