Typeface: Sketchetica

January 25th, 2010

Ossi Gustafsson has a wonderful portfolio on behance.net and offers one of his typefaces, Sketchetica, for free from www.hiekkagraphics.fi. The typeface has four styles that you can see above, but only the “light” version is available for free (click the link above). You’re welcome!

We Feel Fine

January 1st, 2010

we-feel-fine

I meant to blog about this earlier, but I received my complimentary copy of the book “We Feel Fine” in the mail two weeks ago! I know I suck! lol Anyway, one of my pictures that I took back in 2008 with my iPhone 3G was included in the book. :)


It was really surprising because I had forgotten all about it at first. We Feel Fine is an awesome project, from Sep Kamvar and Jonathan Harris, came my way totally by happen-stance. The long and short of how I got this book with my little picture in it goes like so: I was at the mall one day and I saw the Christmas tree in one of the main open areas and snapped a pic of it with my iPhone. I think a long time later I received a message on Flickr.com about submitting my picture to the We Feel Fine Project. At the time I didn’t know what that meant, but I later learned that they were making it into a book. Now that I think about it, I blogged about this back in 2008. You can read the long version of this story here.

I just want to say thank you so much to Jonathan and Sep. Your project rocks!

Meet the creators.

Birth of an AVATAR

December 27th, 2009

I went to see Avatar with my mom and brother and it was absolutely amazing! If you haven’t seen the film yet, then what the french fry are you waiting for?! You won’t be disappointed. But before you go see it, watch this amazing screen capture video of a Peter Ammentorp Lund creating an AVATAR in Adobe Photoshop from a real photograph of himself. Really neat!

I Love Typography: Do you take Helvetica to be your font? “I do!”

July 25th, 2009

25-Creative-Typography-Wallpapers-for-your-Desktop-_-Speckyboy-Design-Magazine

So, we’ve been going steady for a few months now. It’s made for quite a hot summer! ;) ROFL!

All joking aside, I don’t know what it is, but I’m just head over hills for Helvetica right now. It was love at first type. I’ll grow out of this phase, but not out of the typeface. It’s just minimal, clean and altogether awesome. I love it!

Anyway, I saw this image while doing a little research on typefaces and made it my desktop wallpaper. In fact if you go here you can see 25 cool typography desktop wallpapers.

For giggles, here’s Kirby’s awesome little video on another all-too-popular, maybe even over used typeface in Hollywood. Can you guess it? Yes, Trajan!! I don’t mean that in a bad way, but if you really look at the DVD covers in your local Blockbuster, you’ll be shocked. Trust me!

Twitpocalypse Image from Mashable

Twitpocalypse

I saw the highlighted image above and found it really funny, with the dead upside-down Twitter bird. Just thought I’d share that.

P.S. I’m still on the bus on the move for NYC. I really hope we get there in time so that I can take a good shot of Times Square. *fingers crossed, toes crossed, eyes crossed, the works* ^_^
