Jocelyn Warner

Design*Sponge has enlightened me again. I just discovered another fabulously talented Jocelyn who specializes in wallpaper. While I'm sure her products are way out of my budget, they are wonderful inspiration. Beautiful!

Designers for Obama

Lots of great poster design for Obama here: Designers for Obama This one is my favorite so far, I laughed out loud. Gotham is the typeface used in all of his materials. From the beginning I've felt the campaign has been branded so well. More proof that Obama is a smart man, he cares about design.

And if you're intrigued by this topic, here's more critique (and support) for the design elements of the campaign:

- the web site
- the logo; an analysis, a comparison

ele3 Events goes live!

For the past few months I have been helping the women of ele3 Events develop their new company graphic identity, stationery, and web site. This morning the site finally launched! I am very happy and excited for them. I am confident that they will do well and create amazing experiences for hundreds of clients in the future! (A dose of sweet branding never hurts either!)

Q in the News

One Lucky Helen!

Design*Sponge exposes me to new artists all the time. One such illustrator is a woman (and mother of 3), Helen Dardik. I've started visiting her blog weekly. Such fun, new work, great resources for other wonderful things in the world of design, and cute anecdotes about being a parent. Makes me want to start drawing!

Helvetica

I finally saw the movie this weekend. Of course I loved it. I love type. I love working with it, thinking about it, listening to people talk about it. The perspectives given from well-known designers were most interesting to me, getting a feel for their personalities and the different impressions of Helvetica during very different moments in time.
