How sweet it is...

I love this sweet-themed wedding with a lollipops, macaroons, and a peppermint rock candy cake. And I am especially loving the colors...baby blue, red, and yellow....they are so fresh and retro. What's great about this theme is it could easily be applied to a birthday party, picnic, or shower. Check out the rest of these great "wedding themes" at Style Me Pretty...it's a great site for the bridal community or just aspiring designers...and brides (someday), like myself.

Cleveland Film.

The film festival is here in Cleveland and although the weather is getting warmer and I want to be outside as much as possible, I think I'll have to go and check out some of the films.  The opening night was tonight and it continues through March 28th. And what really attracted me to this event was the great branding of the event designed by one of my favorite Cleveland design firms,Twist...(I love the handling of type.)

A new identity...but still the same old me?!

Well, I just sent out a few more resumes/cover letters to design /marketing/advertising firms. I have heard responses back from 2 companies looking to set up an interview in the coming weeks, which is great. So hopefully I will set something up for the coming semester. I thought I would post the new mark I made for myself a couple weeks ago. i like it...it has a clean and modern look to it. I am just not sure yet about the color...I keep going back and forth between this bluish-gray color and a lime green color. But here's the mark...let me know what you think.

Very cute...

These are just the greatest letterpress cards from Paper Wheel Press for your valentine. I love the simple illustrations and the clever message. Someday ...maybe I'll get my own letterpress machine to make my own.







Or if you just need to say I'm sorry to that special someone...

I wish I had more time to sketch....

Ahh...its finals week and I'm already up until 2 am and its only Monday. Although I would like to post my finished project but I haven't quite gotten there yet. So here is some illustrations that I love and just inspire me to sketch and draw more....what I would much rather being doing on a Sunday.

Legos...

It was my brothers birthday last week and he got a great present...the John Hancock Building for Legos (oh and he turned 27). While I was browsing the web today (while I'm supposed to be studying) I came across these great legos of architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright. I'll have to make sure my brother sees these for his Christmas list...



Reconstruct Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater 
or the Guggenheim out of Legos.
