that ain't no turtle

The pretty fantastic dezigner, Kris Todd, asked me to be a guest designer this week. Each week he creates a new header for his site and this week it was my turn to make his fantastically GLORIOUS! I'm headed to the beach this week so I thought I would rub it in everyone's faces. Is that mean? I think the cute little turtle makes up for it.

Check out the header in all it's glory!

Time to Exchange!!

so I'm following The Scoop and they had a post about this package exchange by oh, hello friend. This is such a cute idea for all you peeps who care more about what a package looks on the outside then what's inside! superficial? i think not. we're all just trying to make the world a beautiful place.

Hamilton Wood Type Museum

I am such a dork, but I have to post this...But I think any conversation about design is kind of dorky unless you are a design nerd like me, especially when it comes to letterpress and wood type.

At a recent AIGA event, they featured a film called Typeface. (PS. Love this site!) The film was all about the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin solely dedicated to preserving the art of wood type and how different designers from all over have a love for wood type, but use it in many different ways to create really beautiful pieces.

So, to add to my list of goals, destinations, what have you, I want to take a trip up to Two Rivers to visit this building with piles, boxes, stacks of wood type. Maybe I'll do a residency here...sounds weird but umm, yea, I'm a design nerd.
