Look what I found this week, a kerning game! Ok maybe that’s a little nerdy, but it’s actually a lot of fun. The website gives you a word and then you move around the letters until you think it is properly kerned. Then it compares yours to the correct one and gives you a score. You can play it here Hint: My …

Hand Lettering
If there was one thing I could be better at, I would want it to be hand lettering. It’s so beautiful and organic. I think that’s part of my problem though. When I try drawing my own type, I tend to only see its faults, when in reality it’s the slight inconsistencies that make it beautiful. Chris Yoon Alison Carmichael Sarah …
The Story Behind Keeping Calm
Yesterday I found a great video explaining the history of one of my favorite WWII propaganda posters. I could go into more detail about it, but the video tells you all you need to know! Until yesterday, I had no idea the poster was never displayed until 2000. I love learning about the story of art that has inspired me. I’ve …
Confessions of a Designer
Designer, Anneke Short took the words right out of my mouth. Her Confessions of a Designer poster series consist of quotes I think all designers experience or think about at some point in their career. It’s kind of like a right of passage. Although I do think the 8 year old girl is a little too old to still be using Comic Sans. You’ve got …
Strategic Plan
Monday has hit me harder then I expected, hence the late post. I have a million and one things to do (ok maybe slightly over exaggerating), but it sure seems like that. As I type this another item just got added to my list…oh boy. My only plan I have devised is to buckle done and just do them. That should …
DIY Button Badge
I’ve been itching to make something the past few days. It’s been a while since I’ve done a good DIY. On Monday I posted some embroidered typography that I completely fell in love with. I wanted to give embroidery a try, but knew it needed to be something simple (at least for now) since I’ve never done it before. I came up with these …
Another Tuesday
Another lovely Illustration by Danielle Kroll The best thing about long weekends is when you go back to work it feels like a Monday, but it’s actually Tuesday. I like that, even though I have lots of work to do. I better buckle down and get it done!
Embroidered Typography
I alway love finding a new craft medium to learn and experiment with. I never would have guessed embroidery would ever be one of those. That is until I came across all this beautiful embroidered type. These aren’t your average grandmother’s designs. I first came accross all kinds of embroidery lettering patterns over on imprint. There are enough letters there to inspire …
Ransom Letters
I just came across these giclee print letters this morning from Methane Studios. They have designed each letter of the alphabet so you could buy one or a whole bunch and spell out anything you can think of. Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner I decided to spell love. The O is my favorite.
