ohhh typography

Found this on sfgirlbybay and it made me laugh.

sewing project: #1

Today, with a lot of help from my fabulous mother, I finished my first sewing project! The fabrics that I used are a black and white floral pattern with a solid beige and solid black cheesecloth type fabric. All purchased from the lovely JoAnn Fabrics. I proposed to my mom that we go into business together and start our own little shop on Etsy :)

my new hairdo

Just Kidding.

But I wanted to see what I might look like with bangs, so I did a little photoshopping with Reese Witherspoon's pic on the red carpet.

Bembo's Zoo

Bembo's Zoo is such a fun website. You click on the letter of the alphabet and it will transform the letters into an animal beginning with that letter and each one has sound to it. Bill, my teacher, showed us this website in class the other day.

attention to detail

I feel as though I might have failed a little bit as a designer the other day, when I realized that for however many years I never noticed what is screamingly obvious about the FedEx logo. I like to think that I pay close attention to detail, but this makes me wonder what else I'm not seeing! It's one of those things though, that after you see it once you can never look at it the same again. How did I not see it!? I almost didn't want to admit that I didn't see the arrow, but I'm assuming (or hoping) that there will be someone else out there that sees this post and realizes it for the first time :)

Thanks to johnson banks thought for the week for bringing this to my attention.
