Happy Friday

Once I saw the original book cover design by Aled Lewis for The Great Gatsby, I couldn't resist making a happy friday! Cheers!

Done by Rudi de Wet, this was certainly a labor of love. Although I wouldn't pick this for myself, it's definitely something to appreciate. Right?!

Party Poster, Ep. 14

Not entirely sure if there is anything as aesthetically tingling as some well done letterpress. This poster, by Christine Park, is simple and memorable. I'm in letterpress overdrive because I am about to get some sweet sweet business cards designed by the lovey local ladies at Seesaw Designs.

Kinfolk on My Mind

Has everyone checked out the premiere issue, of the latest & greatest magazine to hit the web? Kinfolk, "a guide to small gatherings," is a beautiful marriage of simplicity, loved ones, and quality. This is a true testament that surrounding yourself with loved ones and serving quality ingredients can create the the most beautiful uncontrived setting. The first volume went live on the 15th of this month. If you are a design enthusiast, this does not disappoint! Be sure to check it out of you've got the hump day blues or just want to be truly inspired by something new.

How sweet and simple Eleanor's work is.  Just Eleanor is a total genius! Some of her work gives off a Charley Harper vibe. You must check out some of her work via website & etsy store.

Alexander & Co. are completely dedicated to making  posters that look like a vintage poster, that may already be hanging in your house...Baby, weddings, etc...

Effective Informative Graphic Design Video: Anatomy of a Computer Virus

 DBR showed this to me, last weekend. He found it while catching up on his daily reads on Gizmodo.  If you've never been to the site, especially if you're a guy, you are TOTALLY MISSING OUT!

This video is loaded with information, yet I never felt like I was being overwhelmed with knowledge, I wasn't able to absorb. This video is the perfect example of the marriage between informative & aesthetically pleasing. If only we integrated this type of teaching into school curriculum... Now, that's what I call cutting edge!

We're blasting off! Now that I've officially become a passenger on DBR's bike, I might need that seriously nice leather jacket. Also, we saw Super 8, last weekend, which I was initially not too jazzed about.  It turns out, the movie was absolutely incredible. It will be a total classic of this generation.

Happy Friday

I can't even begin to describe how jazzed I am, with my growing photo editor skills! I have literally taught myself everything I know and the past two days, I have learned several new things! Hopefully this is an indicator of how my weekend will be.

Today's "Friday pic" is something I made this morning. Now, I'm not claiming to be an expert or that I'm any good at making my own projects, but I do think I deserve a FAT gold star. On that note, have a lovely weekend.

Party Poster, Ep. 7

Leave it to a pair of cute Seattleites to create this simple yet kitschy wedding poster! They can be contacted through their etsy store, ellothere.
