Inspirational


OMG! (I can't believe I just used that abbreviation but there are no other words to explain) Have you seen Jessica Hische?!?! She is a typographer and illustrater out of Brooklyn, NY. Her work is stunning, beautiful, awe-inspiring. The way she handles type is breath-taking. I only wish I had an ounce of her talent and the patience to draw like her. You must go check out all her work.

May I please have...

One of these amazing custom letters from Hindsvik. They make vintage inspired lettering from chipboard, raw natural wood grain, white or black. Where would I put a letter so large?

Keep Calm Gallery

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters that are popping up everywhere but have you looked at what else the Keep Calm Gallery has to offer? They have some truly beautiful prints and home items.

They started in January 2007 by Jucas Lepola and Haley Thwaites because of their "passion for typography in poster design, British heritage and the medium of screenprinting." I want to work there...pretty please.

Great Valentine's Day gift.

Check out these Maple Valentype Blocks. Wonderful! And to even prove the point that you should buy them, read House Industries' product description....it's great.

"As a potential or current House Industries customer, your discerning tastes have undoubtedly driven you to become hopelessly intertwined with a mate who is at least as critical, cynical and mercurial as you. After another long day of ignoring the growing level of commitment and continuous evolutions that define ongoing close interpersonal relationships, you’re not going to want to show up at his or her door with a commercially-produced holiday greeting, a dye-sub printed digital calligraphical representation of the word “love” or a bundle of acetate-encased roses that you haphazardly purchased from a street vendor. With very little advance planning and a relatively low percentage of your hard-earned daily income, you can resolve this conundrum by purchasing one of these lasting tributes to your undying love. And, since the vagaries of complex human emotions are rarely apparent until you’ve already forgotten an important date or emotional milestone, we are supplying you with an all-important deadline and call to action."

How sweet.

A cookbook of eight recipes each decorated with typography. By Woodward Design (hence all the w's) this is simply delightful and a perfect gift for any graphic designer.

You can see a preview of the book here, purchase here, and see the the original post on none other than Design*sponge here. It definitely gets me in the mood for xmas baking!

In Love...with a piggy bank

Oh my land! I have to have this piggy bank. You can find it here at Orange and Pear (such a cute name) and for only $22! As a graphic designer, it comes with the territory that I would love anything having to do with typography and how cute are piggy banks. There are so many cool ones out there. Maybe I should collect them? Do you know of any good ones?
