(I know I havent been posting for a couple of days, sorry about that. Ive just been very busy. Posts should resume tomorrow asap. For now, Im taking a minute to say this...)
One year ago today, I launched Design Fetish. I can't believe its been one year already!
First and foremost, I'd like to thank my coolest friend, the friend who inspired me to start this all, Fadi Bitar (he's a brilliant writer by the way, writes the best articles, you should check out his website, Survival First. You won't regret it, I promise).
I'd also like to thank all you fans and followers out there. Thank you for your constant encouragement. I just love your emails, they always manage to put the biggest smile on my face :D
You guys are what keep Design Fetish going.
Thank you so much and here's to another 365!!!!

The stacks were each broken into different sizes, designed to represent everything from small scale buildings to large skyscrapers.
