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!

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.) 

An Ampersand a Day...Yay!

I came upon this great blog that gives a different ampersand for every day...I love it. Who doesn't love an ampersand?! Check it out.

Maybe I just Need a Little Inspiration...

Well...I should be doing homework of course, but I thought maybe I needed a little inspiration. I started this blog last spring for my Kinetic and Sequential class and have not kept up with at all. And the few posts I did do in that class...they were not very exciting, who knows I might even delete them...we'll see. Anyways, I am currently taking Experimental Type and I have been browsing different blogs and websites with type and different letterpressing projects and I came across this letterpress set on Flickr...they are great. So I really liked this one because this is something I am always trying to do...be present, be here now and I thought to myself "I need to see this more often" and where else am I everyday than on my computer?! So I decided to start my blog up again...but with a little more inspiration this time.
