Seriously great post! Never seen any articles like this on any design sites before, and it’s really nice to see.

Thanks to all the designers who have shared their work.

This makes me want to whip out all my old disks and portfolios. I’ve saved everything I’ve ever done, but I haven’t looked at any of it ina long time. In fact, I tend to archive it and put it away as soon as the project’s over. Now I want to pull it all out and look at it – I’m sure I’ll groan and go “Oh my GOD what was I *thinking*?” LOL

BTW Chad – that back wall looks familiar. I had 4 sisters attend MU (one still does, actually) and that wall looks eerily like the ones in their dorm rooms and/or common rooms. At least, from what I can remember from visiting them there LOL

wow it is a very funny thing looking back over old work my first site was bright green with a menu that looked like a banana – shocking to say the least but thankfully we have all improved

Brilliant blog. Sometimes when I venture into my ‘archives’ from 7yrs ago to fetch something I’m lured to look at old projects.

I am often horrified at what I see )

Liz and Shannon: Thank you ladies for sharing your amazing masterpieces! It looks like everyone is enjoying them along with the rest of the very ‘well-designed’ pieces in this post! haha

Scarlet: We were all there once! It is important to never stop learning and to really soak up as much information as you can while you are still in school! I sometimes wish I could rewind time and be back in the classroom learning and improving my design skills. It is awesome that you are reading through design blogs though. They are truly a great source of knowledge and inspiration to stay on top of the game.

Sarah: Did you really lose all of your early work or did you just happen to ‘misplace’ it? Haha. Such a shame! It is a fun little post to see where some of these designers have come from and what they are creating now.

Andrew: Thanks so much for sharing your work! I agree it is a really great visual reminder to see how much we have accomplished throughout our careers. It also brings you down to earth a bit to remember that we all didn’t pop out of college using the grid system properly and with perfect typography skills!

Jan: I am glad that you can look at this post as a source of inspiration for your own work. It definitely gives you the visual realization that your future in design will only blossom and grow into something more beautiful then what it already may be! Thanks for dropping by

Thanks Antonea for including my own work here. Only just noticed that this article was published, lol.

It’s ‘good to see all the mistakes that designer’s have made’, but more importantly, the processes that should have made them better designer’s in the end. Great post.

This is a great idea! It’s so fun to see how far we have come. I wish I hadn’t lost a lot of my early stuff, I’m sure there were some gems I don’t even remember!
