The "great" African Safaris

This is one of the magazines I design (yes, that is what I do for a living...other than being awesome 24/7)...This is the "baby" of my company...you can find this particular magazine in your local CNA or Exclusive books. Go check it out, its a great read (not that I read it, but so I hear)...I just put it together.

Well the reason I put "great" in inverted commas is because this has all the potential of being the best travel mag in the country but my boss...who is a bit of a cheapskate wont pay those extra few pennies to register with ABC just to get their stamp in our mag so we can enter for a PICA (the most prestigious award in the publishing industry). So yes it does piss me off to think I bust my ass off every 2 months gunning this magazine...working hectic unpaid overtime, the deadline chopping and changing and dealing with all the crap from the scum of the earth 'the sales team', okay so they are the heart of the company but all the crap they pull when we on deadline cause me to plot some crazy shit on them...like bombing their cars or kidnapping their family for ransom, you wouldnt know until you have been in a designer's shoes and those designers out there reading this can relate to exactly what Im saying. Anywho back to the point or my article, African Safaris is seriously in a league of its own compared to the other travel magazines outthere (hehe), it has a cleancut design and the articles are very well written. Like everything in my life I have worked hard in, I feel like I am being robbed again...I have never won a trophy for anything....ANYTHING, and I have done everything...EVERYTHING. I didnt even get a "nice try" trophy for doing my best...I either must have really sucked or everybody has something against me. I like to think of option 2. All I want is for my boss to just stop being such a schnoop mofo and put that damn sticker in our magazine so we can get some recognition and win the damn PICA we deserve...If I were part of the team for Explore, GO or Getaway I would be shitting myself right about now...be afraid be very afraid bitches...
