I’ve received two notices within the last two days that I’ll be featured in two publications: 1. Graphis New Talent Annual and 2. Design School Confidential, by Stephen Heller and published by Rockport (I’ll keep you posted when it’s available). Between the two publications, 10 of my 12 classmates will also be featured. I’m just a little excited. Woohoo!

Typhotheque, a foundry based in the Netherlands, just released a pretty ingenious system of display fonts that span the course of type history. It’s called History. Check it out.

Just because I laughed out loud. A lot.

The time is rapidly approaching for me to show my stuff. Daphne: Unreciprocated Love is finally scheduled to hang at the BYU Harris Fine Arts Center at the end of October. Now the time crunch begins. Knowing how I respond to tight deadlines I’m hoping that this will motivate me to get more done than what seems humanly possible. I’ve still to set the kerning, design two posters and the specimen book, then get it printed and hung. I’m hoping to have invitations ready to go out by next week.


I’ve been FFFFound!

At the close of a long day at work, my co-worker Brad turned to me and said, “You’ve been ffffound!”. To my disbelief, I saw the logo concept I had designed for the New York Public Library staring back at me from his computer screen.

Now for the explanation: As designers, we often look for inspiration as we do our work. At Hint, this has become an essential element of how we keep up with design trends. Christian (the boss) likes mantras and one of his is Good Design In, Good Design Out—referring to necessity of the “recharge” or inspiration to continue doing good design. ffffound.com is one site that we refer to fairly regularly and it’s both flattering and terrifying that my work has now made it on to the site.

This ought to provide me with the sufficient motivation to finish my website. So…

After a very long (and somewhat rainy) day, my back is tired and my eyes can barely be kept open. Here’s the latest version of Daphne. I’m starting to lose track of all the glyphs, but I think it’s somewhere around 650. Anyway, the end of the tunnel is near. Enjoy.
