“sorry, not today” [throwback]

dec 23, 2025 [created initially in 2017

after my sister, who was working with UN Migration in Ghana at the time, wrote this and posted it with the photo [background photo shown here] on her social media… i felt like making something a bit more visual to go with the impactful words…

i didn’t spend much time on it and it’s not technically complex from an art or design perspective, but i think it ~works as a whole still today because it means something. and even though it’s eight years past, it’s still something i like to read and look at it and it’s still relevant to today. it still means something.

so that said——good design rarely needs to be complicated, but it does need to do something… or mean something, in my opinion. if it doesn’t, it’s just decoration and people are going to forget about it [especially in our visually saturated world].
