2013 in Photographs…by Obama’s personal photographer.   Pete Souza isn’t your average press photographer – He actually works for Barack Obama himself. Which means his “year in photographs” is quite a treat, because you get to see a bunch of personal moments vs press conference photos. My favorite is still the one of Obama posing with Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, with both of them sporting their best “not impressed” looks.  (by The White House) High-res

The 99% conference, illustrated.  Each year, Behance holds a 99% conference with a theme of “Making Ideas Happen.” For the past few years, I’ve tried to go only to find tickets have already sold out. Lucky for all of us, we have the internet and the internet is full of creative people who were able to attend. Wendy MacNaughton captured the conference through beautiful illustrations while Sarah Rapp & Jocelyn Glei recap key takeaways in a word-focused post. Both are worth scrolling through! High-res
