Beautiful Work


I stubbled across this identity project on Push IQ's website, a design studio in Colorado, with a large portfolio of great work. I love the hand crafted element to it, with the use of the stamp and the recycled paper. I also love that its for such an amazing and worthy client. Well done.

A cupcake for breakfast.














I love cupcakes...I love unwrapping them....I love how they are your own personal delicacies. And this cupcake just seems perfect...it's like a fancy blueberry muffin. I have been in a baking mood lately...maybe because I have had a little more time on my hands since my internship is up. I made banana bread the other day and now I think I might have to make these cupcakes...I have been looking for a good recipe and this one looks so good. The bad thing about these is that I will be eating them for breakfast (and for every meal after that...)

What every designer needs....


















Here's a great and fun flowchart for finding a typeface by Danish Julian Hansen. And I love that Papyrus is not even an option!

What a great collection...


Here's an image that caught my attention from a Flickr set by sarcoptiform, courtesy of Shawn Wolfe. (It's part of a series.) All these lids were collected from the 1990's and 2000's....I wonder where they are all from. Anyways, I thought it was a pretty cool shot...simple yet elegant.

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.)
