Typography Sketchbooks
The most successful book is that which inspires you to put it aside and create.
Thank you to my sweet, thoughtful husband who surprised me with Typography Sketchbooks, curated by Steven Heller and Lita Talarico.
The Twitter Series: Door
It's been a while since I've posted anything new to my Twitter series, so over the weekend I decided it was time to get inspired. While lazily scrolling through Twitterland, a stream of tweets by @splorp caught my eye. They were simple one-word posts with a single image. Rather than just one design, I've created a short series that highlights the strange yet endearing tweet. You can thank me later that I refrained from writing peachy
I've been thinking about getting a few of my designs printed, and these tiny 7x7 inch designs just might be the first.

Commute Design Twitter Project: Bees
Design 16 celebrates one my favorite design thinkers, Frank Chimero. He's in the middle of writing a book, but you can catch his most recent work or find him on Twitter.

Commute Design 15: OD'd on Dried Mango
Today's design for my new Twitter series comes from the fabulously talented type nut, Jessica Hische. I wanted this design to feel tropical (because of the mango) while conveying spunk.

Commute Design 14: Good Fortune
Continuing with the Twitter series I started earlier this week, I found some good fortune (sorry, couldn't resist). It could be the warm weather, but I've been oogling over anything bright colored lately and this was the perfect tweet to pull in some stupendously gaudy, bright colors. It's so hideously colorful and I love it. Also, don't you just love how spamm-y this tweet sounds?
A big thanks to Booooooom for the tweet.
