Finders Keepers: A Kerning Game

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Finders Keepers, Typography, Website 1575 Views

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

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Art, Design, Typography 2163 Views

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

Jake Blog Post Design, Graphic Design, Poster, Typography, Video 1147 Views

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

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Graphic Design, Poster, Typography 1856 Views

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

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Art, Poster, Typography 1237 Views

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

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 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!

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

Jamie Bartlett Blog Post Art, Design, Graphic Design, Poster, Typography 1340 Views

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.
