Type is all around us...lucky us!
Have you seen Logorama? I hadn’t even heard of it until it won an Oscar last night. Woke up this morning and looked into it to see what it was about in more detail and was pleasantly surprised to read that it was originally inspired a typography-centric video! No wonder I liked what I saw on TV. I love type! And it’s just always interesting to see an outsider’s view of American consumerism. This one looks like eye candy too!
Type is a great design tool that is often overlooked in favor of pictures and graphics. But don’t overlook type … it offers a huge range of personalities and styles. And when combined with colors, size, cropping, proportion, type offers endless creative opportunities. For wedding invites, business cards, greeting cards, etc. It’s playful and fun or traditional and formal. Oh, I could go on and on about how versatile and fun designing with type is. Like, I said I’m a fan of type. Go type! 
A friend forwarded this video to me today. I’m sure you’ve heard this song, I could swear it’s in a bunch of ads…but I really like it and have been listening to it over and over so thought I’d send this link to the video and other songs.
TGIF everyone. Hope your weekend is full of good music
I’ve been meaning to add this initial note card and custom-designed note card, similar to the Mario Lopez note card, to my site, but time has a way of getting by me. For now, here they are on ye old blog.
You may have seen Dr. Dorian on Extra. The custom card was ordered for him as a gift. Both make an extra special, personalized gift for any occasion. I really enjoyed making the custom boxes too. Thought they were a nice finishing touch. Hope you agree.
Fun with packaging!

Custom-made and custom-boxed note cards
Packed and ready to go
Totally rad card, like, ya know
Like I’m totally listening to great 80s music, ya know? And, it like reminds me of like this totally rad card design.
No really, I’m recording a ton of music from my friend Doug who was kind enough to lend me his superior 80s album collection last year and it reminds me of Spiffy Press’ Totally card. A great card for any occassion for your forty-something friends like me who totally overused the word totally for a decade.
Barf me out, gag me with a chainsaw, grody to the max and all that. At least I crack myself up.
ps. Bonus for reading my blog is this fantastic photo of my big hair so you get to crack up too!
