Weekend!

These images by Maison Gray are so gorgeous. 

I've always loved the beach, people come together to this one place with their umbrellas, chairs and towels but everyone keeps a safe distance from each other -- it's an unwritten rule of personal space. And Maison captured this beautifully with all those shapes and colors. 

It's almost the weekend -- which I'm super stoked about because it's my birthday weekend! 

Have a good weekend and relax like these people!

Caroline Morris: Urban Seed

Caroline Morris did a killer job on this project for her senior thesis. 

The type is well executed. And the white space is spot on.

Inspiration Board: California, Fashion, Travel

Had so much fun putting this vintage beach glam inspiration board for a new client! As well as putting together a new layout for my boards -- I wanted something different but was still visually interesting!

More to come.

Something New

For a while now, I've been on a kick to spend time learning calligraphy or mostly how to use a quill. I spent sometime this weekend playing around and practicing. Mostly writing lines from Parks and Rec because it was playing in the background! And I'm loving it. As you can see it's still not perfect. The biggest problem I'm having, which I think effects the smoothness of the letterforms is keeping ink in my nib. I'm constantly having to refill, sometimes I can't even finish a word. 

To all the calligraphy pros out there, what am I doing wrong?

Stripes!

Can't. Get. Enough.
