Podcast Love

Do you guys listen to podcasts much? I go through phases. Sometimes I can't get enough and they're all I listen to, other times I need a mind break and just listen to music. But these past few days I've been listening to a ton of podcasts as I work. Yesterday I finally got the chance to listen to Grace Bonney's (of Design*Sponge) new(ish) podcast called After the Jump. After listening to the first episode, I had to listen to another, and another. And yes, there are 7 episodes to date and I listened to them all! 

Here's the description from the site: "Design blogger Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge takes her love art and design from the web to radio. Through a series of interviews with designers, store owners and up-and-coming members of the creative community, Grace will delve deeper into the world of independent artists. From exploring the day-to-day lives of contemporary makers to discussing the challenges they face, After the Jump will take the conversation off the screen and into real life."

I mean, how can you not love a podcast where Grace Bonney speaks with amazing artistic talent such as Sibella Court, Meg Mateo, and Genevieve Gorder?? So good! 




You can listen to the podcast free on itunes, or stream it from Heritage Radio. Truly, if you are interested in the up-and-coming creative community and are ready to be inspired by the amazing things they're doing out in the world, you won't be disappointed. Have fun friends!

Pack It.

How cute is this mascara packaging? A little bit of illustration, a little bit of texture.


Find it here- although it looks like it's sold out at the moment...

that's what good design will do to your product folks!

Modern Design // Retro Feel

This poster was created in modern times, but the design is so retro. Love that.
Those colors are pretty wonderful too.

Invitation to a Lovely Wedding

Remember this little lady who just got married in Portland? Well I thought I'd share with you one more part of the wedding I had the pleasure of being apart of - designing their wedding invites!

Here's a little behind the scenes look at how Grace and Josh's invite was born into the world:

Photobucket


After getting inspired and sketching out the invites, I brought those tiny sketches into the computer, did a little paint-y paint in Photoshop, and...





The finished product. Complete with a goose (Grace's long time nickname) a deer, (representing Josh) a woodsy forest scene, add one map and RSVP card and wallah! The invite is born!

I know I've already done a blog post on Grace and Josh's wedding, but I have to give one more congrats to the couple, being as this post was all about their invites. So congrats again to the wonderful couple!

Yay marriage!

A sweet art project using fortune cookies as design inspiration. Artists were given
a random fortune cookie, asked to interpret the fortune as they wish and design a
typographical poster to go with it. Its called Posters of Fortune.

Once again, awesome inspiration = awesome results.
