Life is hard.
The world has grown increasingly cynical, sarcastic and pessimistic. The cycle of coping with negative feeling with more negative feeling just perpetuates the idea that nothing can change. There is a small way to brighten the world. Stickers.

Reflections

1. Every step in the process was a learning moment, from establishing the brand, design the stickers, producing the stickers, and then distributing the stickers.  

2. We wanted to have enough stickers to give each of our classmates one sticker, and we sold the rest to cover our cost of production.  

3.We intend to continue to create new themed issues and develop our own Etsy shop for selling the stickers directly and create digital stickers that can be downloaded.
