Having spent some time browsing apartments while in St. Louis, I fell in love with a black and white checkered floor in one of the kitchens. It has been on my mind ever since and I thought I would do a little searching and find kitchen accessories along the same lines:
2013 Moments
While we are already well into January, I decided to take a look back at my travels, creative experiences, and time with friends and family throughout 2013. This past year I had opportunity to experience two different internships with Ampersand Design Studio and Trozzolo Communications Group. With only one semester of college left ahead of me, in 2013 I was able to take studio classes I loved. This allowed me to spend time in the letterpress lab, dive into hand lettering and become a much more experienced book binder. One of my proudest crafting moments was creating my Fraser Hall Halloween costume. Lawrence has truly become my second home over the past few years, and this year I loved continuing to explore my college town and spend time with great friends and inspiring classmates. This was also a great year for traveling: I spent time skiing, went on a cruise and took a senior trip to Las Vegas. I can't wait to see what 2014 will bring!
Drop Cap Inspiration
For an upcoming project I have been gathering some drop cap inspiration. While Jessica Hische can provide endless, beautiful inspiration for drop caps, I tried to find examples from various sources. Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!
Feeling Festive
Last year my family started a new Christmas Eve tradition of setting up a photo booth. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the evening!
Designing with Humility
Today I am thankful that AIGA posted videos form their annual design conference. I decided to watch Margaret Gould Stewart, the director of product design at Facebook, speak on designing with humility. Her thoughts on designing for massive platforms that millions throughout the world interact with each day offered insights I found inspiring. Definitely worth taking a look at:
Christmas Cards
As Christmas rapidly approaches I thought I would share this set of Christmas cards I designed. I have loved exploring the world of hand lettering this semester, and I am excited it led me to creating these cards I will be giving to friends and family this season.
