A Holiday Card Two Years in the Making

January 6th, 2009 · No Comments

Aaaand, I’m back! Well, that was a nice little vacation, so now that the holidays are over and (most) everyone received their card from me, I can finally post about them without spoiling the surprise. I may be going about this a little backwards, but am going to post the final product today and the […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Advent is Upon Us!

December 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments

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 […]

Currently Loving: Nate’s Reichsbanknote Collection

December 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Whew! What an amazing vacation! I had some time to finish nearly all of my personal projects in progress–some of which I’ll be blogging about soon–as well as time for family fun and a stint at jury duty (not all that fun to tell you the truth…). But now I’m back and back to posting!
I […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Schmorgasborg of Design Links

November 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’m all mixed up on my day’s tonight. I started to write another post before it hit me that it was Wednesday already! Eep. So I scoured my shared items for some goodies to share. Once again, this week’s don’t seem to have any rhyme or reason, but hopefully are fun nonetheless.

Excellent Light Doodles Animation
Tricia’s […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Typography

November 6th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Welcome to blog post 1 of NaBloPoMo! (Yesterday’s doesn’t really count.) So as I combed through my feed-reader, from the past couple of weeks a lot of really great posts stood out. But since I need to narrow things down and generally like to group them into a theme, I’ve picked all of the great […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Max Kerning

October 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

Well, this is a day late, and I know that I’m behind on posting: the past couple of nights have been rather late ones. I’m going to try to get another post in tonight to update everyone on my Gocco attempt. But first, since I’ve been so behind on everything lately, this week’s weekly reader […]

Quick Link: Spelling Change

October 13th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m attempting to be non-partisan on this blog, but this is just such a fun site, that I couldn’t help but post a quick link. (even though it’s not Wednesday)

Spelling Change works a lot like the link I posted a few Weekly Readers ago, only it uses letters created by designers inspired by Obama’s campaign. […]

Doodles and an Update

October 9th, 2008 · No Comments

I need to post the rest of my Chronicling Memories series, but first have to take more photographs. So I should be back to that this weekend. In the meantime, I thought I’d share a couple doodles I did for a template I’ve been working on this week.

I’m really happy with how these turned out, […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Fall Booklist Part 2

October 9th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve been overwhelmed with the number of great books that just keep popping up…that, and I realized I’d forgotten a few on last week’s list. Hence the continuation. But before I get going, an important announcement: It Came!

This past weekend, I got the book I won from Johno over at iLT: Designing Books. It’s marvelous! […]

Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Double Stuffed!

September 25th, 2008 · 3 Comments

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 […]
