Jake and I put a lot of thought into our blog design. It’s come a long way from when we first started the blog and put a banner together in 10 minutes. We’re proud of what we’ve done and we are proud that it was featured on August Empress for the design and color/colour combination. Jo described it as rustic, organic and …
It’s August, my favorite month. Can you guess why? It’s my birthday month! This month for “Face of Type” we chose Bureau Grotesque. It is a wonderful, more condensed, san serif font perfect for display. Font Fun Fact: Bureau Grotesque is one of the fonts we use for A Pear of Pears’ Identity. Notice the word “Pears” in our blog’s header. Yep, that’s …
This poster wonderfully illustrates it’s message with only the use of type. It’s such a simple solution for this piece. So simple in fact, it’s brilliant. Today make an effort to go beyond the obvious. It makes like a little more interesting. Wouldn’t you say? Source: Me and This To “think outside the box” is to look further and try to not think of the obvious things, but to …
London is, well… quite lovely if you ask me. I love the culture, the accents, and the history of city. While studying there on a college summer trip, I had a project where I was assigned to design a mind map illustrating what I did over the weekend. It was a fun personal project that always brings back fond memories …
Since I get to animate for a living every day, I don’t get as much time as I’d like to work on my own animation projects. But my company is having a viral video contest this year, and I finally came up with what I thought was a good idea last week. The way the contest works is anyone at …
Today is the first day in two weeks that I have been home during the day for work. Last week I worked with Jake on his show Who Knew that he animates for. It was nice being with him during the day. But today I am home which will give me a chance to catch up on some work. I can’t say …
Happy July everybody! Can you believe it’s already July? This year is flying by. Today I’m excited to announce a new feature on our blog called The Face of Type. Each month Jake and I are going to pick one of our favorite typefaces, tell you a little about it and spruce up a letter from that face. We will be doing this …
I like Summer. It’s not my favorite season, but it does seem to be the season where everyone travels. Kids are out of school and the sun is out. Don’t these posters make you want to visit these places? They remind me of those vintage postcards you could find in any souvenir shop, but with a better, more thought out design. I picked out …
Source: Dara Quesada I hope you’re ready, because it’s time for a new week. Did you have a good weekend? Jake and I went on a date Friday evening. First we walked to the Farmer’s Market for dinner and then we went and saw Super 8 at the theatre. It was fantastic (loud, but fantastic). We both highly recommend it, but watch …
You know that plack you see hanging in everyone’s house? The one that says “Home is where the heart is”. Well I think that quote has run it’s course. It’s kind of like when you have too much of a good thing. Here is a quote to replace it. I like this version better anyway. It’s clever, kind of corny, but fun. Source: …
