In keeping with February’s theme of inspiring creatives, I give you 3 typographers that I have been digging over the past year. If only I were as good at typography as these lovely ladies. You’ve probably heard of or seen them before, so I’ll just let their work speak for them:

Whew! On Sunday, after a marathon 2 days, I finished photographing all of my missing work and uploading it to my Flickr page and AIGA profile. Of course, as I was uploading, I noticed that there are a few pieces I want to go back and reshoot. But for the most part it’s done, and […]

…and late. Well that was extremely annoying last night. I’ll attempt to remember everything as I had it written. And my apologies for the absence of this column the past several weeks: hopefully this triple-stuffed edition will make up for it. (On a side note, I’m paranoid that I’ll lose the post again, so […]

Well, I’m back from DC and slowly wading through emails, etc. I’ve got some great things to share from my trip, so I’m also combing through all of the photos I took to see what would be best for each post idea. I hope to post later this week. But first, I thought I’d share […]

I’m not gunna lie: I felt a little panicky when I got back from vacation and had 850+ unread posts in my feedreader this week. Ack! I ended up marking-all-as-read to a lot of them just to help my sanity. Not that it has any bearing on today’s links because I’ve been gearing up for […]

Well, as promised, Weekly Reader is back with 2 weeks worth of links to share. Twice the fun? You betcha!
Analog is Better:
Has anyone else noticed a resurgence in non-digital-based technology? Personally, I’ve always worried that I was born in the wrong decade: I love antique things, and especially film, too much to totally get along with the digital […]

Well, this was an unusual week: usually I find several items to share that all relate to each other. This week, I had a hard time categorizing them. So I guess I’ll just have to group things the best I can:
Adding these to my wish list:

Neubau Berlin has put both of their popular books in one […]

I WON!!

Chronicle Books was giving away a free set of their stationary line from Hammerpress…and I won! I never win anything, so I’m ecstatic! It just came in today. Take a look at the gorgeous detail on the notebook’s cover:

Even though it’s not letterpressed, the printing is superb, and I love the embossing and metallic […]

Right now I’m on a business trip, so my longer inspiration posts from Chicago will have to wait just a wee bit more. However, I thought now would be the perfect time to share a few things I snapped photos of a la James Bond. (Think: covert-spy-camera) So I apologize upfront for the poor quality: […]

Coldplay’s Viva la Vida is like a perpetual hug: sometimes bone-crushing in its intensity, sometimes a familiar, warm embrace. With this album, more than any other, they’ve taken a huge step forward with their sound, and I approve.
But what of the CD’s package design? Frida Kahlo vs. Delacroix’s French Revolution aside, my only complaint was paper […]
