Scavenger Hunt: Texty

I love type!  I think it is apparent in what I make , but I wanted to show you a few things I discovered this week with some great type and also show the way some designers are using it. We are bombarded by the written word everyday from ads to general products that sometimes it is hard to really appreciate how beautiful it can really be.

Scavenger Hunt: Pre-Winter Daydreams

There have been a lot of amazing things floating around the web these past few days. Sometimes it is hard to narrow down just a few things to highlight especially as we start to hibernate for winter and the holiday season is upon us. I hope you like what I discovered this week including a few design and art goodies.

Where are they now: Napkin Rings

Some clients are a dream like Elizabeth Schuppe. Not only is she a talented artist, but she gave me the design challenge to come up with images for her guest rings. First I suggested +1 but with 3 separate guest rings it would be too confusing. In the end we did a nature theme. I like them very much and so does her husband who took this beautiful shot with what he calls the Martha Stewart Lens. LOL!

Here is my original photo of the number rings that gave Elizabeth the inspiration for her custom order.

Scavenger Hunt: Natural Beauty

October reminds me of the summer we never had here in NY. The rain is gone and it is all sunshine and blue skies! I've been outside as much as possible. This week all I can think about is nature and flowers so I have tried to find things that could inspire you and fit into this theme. I am particularly smitten with prints listed below….

Stunning posters by Claire Nereim – the flowers really pop against the black background
