type tuesday || my own work
January 17, 2012
a peep at my desk at work:
hand lettering by one of my incredibly talented co-workers (same one that lettered this)
birthday note by another very talented co-worker
pics are of me as a babe and me holding my beautiful niece when she was still tiny (almost six whole years ago!)
one of my cards spotted on the rack in-store:
it's always so rewarding to see them produced.
type tuesday || levi's
January 10, 2012
i couldn't help but laugh when i spotted this old levi's ad recently. way back in 2002, this inspired one of my first design projects in college (i tried to pull up the file to share, but it's saved in such a way that it's corrupted and can't be viewed by my current version of photoshop *sigh*). it was one that i showed in my portfolio when i applied for my job with hallmark in 2005, and earned me a position in the lettering department, where i am still happily learning and designing daily.

ah, memories.
i honestly wish i could show you my version. it's . . . awesome.
do any of you just cringe when you look back at old work?

type tuesday || kate spade new york
November 15, 2011
so, because a lot of awesomeness has been going down in the last few weeks, i haven't had a chance to talk about a little recent shop opening in kansas city. if you follow me on twitter, you heard all about it. if you don't, then let me just tell you that kate spade new york and my girl megan biram know how to throw a mean launch party!

no party is complete without macarons and legit coca cola with stripey straws.
the store is b-e-a-u-tiful right down to the artfully arranged boxes behind the counter.

and the rainbow striped floors . . . cute shoes don't hurt either.

our extreme marker display and my larger than life fingernails even made it onto the ks instagram!
and just because that's not quite enough kate spade for one post, i picked out a few things i'm coveting right now for your entertainment. or holiday shopping. whatever.

type tuesday || word ink
November 8, 2011
not long ago, i discovered a very awesome project of one of my talented colleagues. josh started word ink back in 2009, but has recently reinstated the venture . . . which is exciting for us because it's one that we all get to take part in!
this is how it works: josh relates word ink to a word processing plant for which you provide the fuel.
once you start following the project on twitter (@26symbols), you submit a word of choice (keep it clean, people).
as time allows, josh will letter your word and tweet you a link back to the blog!
because word ink is all about celebrating lettering and words, he prefers not to do names, but your words can be legit, made up or blended, as you'll see in some of his previous pieces. styling is based on interpretation, so it might be illustrative, calligraphic, casual, etc.
fun, right??? isn't he talented?!?
if you're so inclined, he's back in full force. submit your word to @26symbols to see what he comes up with!

October 4, 2011
i have long been an admirer of jessica hische's beautiful hand-drawn type and letterforms. i feel like this fancy pants day planner project is chock full of quotes perfect for the day after our shop launch.

super inspiring quotes, and not bad type inspiration either, eh?
