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.

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

blog assignment #4: inspiration

I can't believe I didn't come across this site ages ago! postercabaret.com has THE most beautiful posters. I could have posted all the posters, but there's just too many to love. If you've not been there, check it out.

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.

new perspective


Sorry, I know it's kinda hard to see.
It was suggested to me to incorporate the hands with the type.
I like it!
