Design Is Hard / Design Is Fun [Graphic Design]

Design Is Hard / Design Is Fun is a typographic, illustration and graphic design project to visualize this phrase with both of the elements 'hard' and 'fun' in a single image.

As well as designing the title image, I also created the image above as the first submission to the project. I hope to regularly add images to this project, ultimately with the goal of publishing it as a book. It would be cool if I could interest other designers in contributing to this project and get a cross-section of how different designers tackle the brief.
