Mark, et. al.,

Whoever said designers were shallow lied. Once again I've been rendered speechless, impressed at the lengths a reporter goes for a story that needs to be told and angered at the injustices that exist everyday in our world.

As a designer, I will contined to seek ways to change what I can for the better. And impress on all those I know to do the same.
