Just popping in really quick. Sorry I can’t stay longer. It makes me sad when I don’t get to spend as much time blogging as I would like, but work is busy (which is a good thing) and I have lots to do before I head to church this evening to start helping out with the Christmas children’s musical! Can …
Outdoor Movie Night Printables for The Kitchn
It’s no surprise that people here in LA are serious about their movies/movie going experience. That’s why I was thrilled when The Kitchn came to me asking if I would design a few printables for an outdoor movie party they were planning for their gathering series. The stylist had a few colors in mind but basically let me do what …

Zachary Smith Typography
Sorry I’ve been a little MIA this week. My family is coming into town so I’m trying to get all my work done. That way I can take some time off while they’re here. That’s a good excuse right? Which reminds me — posts here on the blog might be a little sporadic next week as well. I can however …

Wander Postcard Project
We’re going camping soon! So when I saw this Wonder Postcard Project I got really excited. There are always postcards from towns or tourist attractions to pick up and send to friends. But there aren’t any postcards for nowhere. These ones remind me of something boyscouts would use to send home when they are in the wilderness. Now that’s an idea! …
In Motion: History of Nintendo
Today I have an awesome motion graphics video for you. This is a visual history of Nintendo up to 2012 by Anthony Veloso and Quentin Dron. Check it out: What I love most about this animation is that they took the time to pick out great textures to lay over the vector illustrations. It gives the flat shapes and colors a …

Warm weather, sunny picnics, and outdoor play days our on their way. Pantone picked some lovely colors for this spring’s fashion trend. There are lots of colorful brights and pretty …
In Motion: New Mickey Mouse Shorts
Today I discovered that Disney is making 19 brand new animated Mickey Mouse shorts! The whole series is being produced and directed by Paul Rudish, who made Dexter’s Laboratory and The Powerpuff Girls. You can definitely see his influence in the art direction. I can’t embed the video, so you’ll have to go to Disney’s website to watch the video. Go check …
Pantone Pairings
Have you seen these Pantone Pairings by David Schwen? They are so clever. I love it when designers step away from the computer and play with tangible things. I really should challenge myself to do that more often. I’m not sure I could come up with something this good though. I guess I won’t know until I try. As Barney …
