The Megaman Project

Being a Graphic Designer, I can always appreciate when I’m allowed to combine what I studied in school for a career and my love for my nerdy hobbies like Mega Man. A fellow Graphic Designer by the name of Jack Bloom has produced a marvelous set of portfolio pieces based on Mega Man, which he […]
