Blog assignment #6: Workspace

I'm moving in a few months, so I'll have a whole room for my studio and won't have to migrate between my bed and our dining/living room that I've taken over as my workspace.

Blog assignment #5: Block of type

Lead article and image ideas

Well, I still can't post on the 4100 blog, but here are my ideas for my lead article....

Blue Ridge Country (still not sure if I want to leave Country there..) covers a broad area of any and everything that is the Blue Ridge Mountains...so to narrow it down, I think I'll focus on the outdoor aspects of the area (camping, hiking) as well as events such as music and arts festivals, and historical gems.

I found an article from Backpacker about how to make the best camp side pancakes. I thought this would be feasible as far as images go, as well as fun.

Final H1N1 posters

I changed the kerning and ledding(sp?) for say it don't spray it. Is this better? I also added a second color. Much happier with it..oh and I added more copy so it would be apparent that the poster is about H1N1.

After the critique I went back and changed the font in the smaller body copy so that "swine flu" "H1N1" and the url would be more readable.

Starting over

I looked at what I had for the H1N1 poster with fresh eyes this morning, and decided to start anew.
These are still very preliminary and no where near finished, but hopefully you get where I'm going with them.

Cool Design Site..Free Fonts

I literally spent hours on this site and found a lot of amazing typographical posters and helpful tutorials (not to mention, free fonts).

I love letterpress designs. BellaFigura.com is a site with beautiful wedding invitation designs.


Lisa Congdon's "Anatomie" is a collection of mixed media collage with the human body and nature as the subject. I love the beautiful textures and colors in these pieces. I have found them inspirational for multiple projects.

I am so obsessed with letterpress designs and my obsession has grown ever more over this past summer as I designed the invitations, programs, and pretty much all stationery for one of my best friends' weddings. I got a lot of inspiration from a few blogs including this one, poppytalk, which is a canadian based blog collecting inspiration from all sorts of designers, particularly handmade artists. Beautiful stuff!
I found this gouche and ink piece by Tina Berning on poppytalk.
