It can be quite a challenge to push your work as a freelance creative when it is subject to so much opinion and scrutiny – it’s often hard not to take comments personally. Over the past couple of years I have come up against a number of put-downs both from aquaintances and creative professionals, so as a sort of weird cathartic process I decided to turn the criticisms and condescending comments into fun typographic art. I wanted to create these in ways that matched each comment, using different media for each one accordingly. I hope they make you chuckle. — Lisa Maltby
