I’ve always bashed the use of the typeface Comic Sans. Unless you draw a comic strip, there should really never be any reason to use the font. The Wall Street Journal had a great article that interviews Vincent Connare, the creator of Comic Sans. Click here to go to the WSJ article.
In Connare’s defense, you can’t judge a design element by its misuse:
“Typefaces convey meaning, typographers say. Helvetica is an industry standard, plain and reliable. Times New Roman is classic. Depending on your point of view, Comic Sans is fun, breezy, silly or vulgar and lazy. It can be “analogous to showing up for a black-tie event in a clown costume…”
Hi everyone! I’ve been pondering posting my Mom Diary for some time now, and finally have a few moments to write something about myself. I’m 25 now and mom to Reilly, who’ll be a terrific 2 this July. I came to Ashworth College after finding that I needed some assistance in decorating my home. I had no idea where to start, or even how to do it. I told myself that if I was going to take on this project, then I wanted to do it right. Here I am, 8 months later about to receive my Interior Decorating diploma! I’ve learned many things from this program; more than they teach in the books.
I’ve learned that I should take my time. As I do so; I realize that my tastes are evolving, my style of decorating is improving, and I’ve finally found something I really enjoy doing.
I am lucky enough that I am able to stay at home with my son. I feel so proud every day when the first thing I hear is “moooommmmeeeee” coming from his monitor; when I hear him saying please and thankyou, many times without prompting. His version of “thank you mommy” in that sweet toddler voice is enough to make anyone’s heart melt. He knows several animals, takes naps with no problems waking up such a happy boy, and can “count” to 2 sometimes 3. He’s a very intelligent kid…
Isobel is a very creative London advertising agency that has some beautiful work. I think their nicest piece of work is their Bullring Birmingham commercial that I’ve embedded above. Check it out…
Whether discussing what’s next in technology, fashion, or design; Japan is universally acknowledged as the root of predictive trend development. One particularly hot interior design trend that anyone interested in staying ahead of the game should know about relates to digital “art in the room” products. A brilliant combination of aesthetic futurism, technical functionality, and clean design; these LED squares offer much more than just ambient lighting. It’s better to show than tell in this case, so watch the video above to learn more. Thanks…
Dodd Mitchell Design specialized design night clubs, restaurants, and resorts. I realized how important this kind of work is for a business when I went to a nice restaurant this weekend with my wife for Valentines day. The food was good and everything, but the environment was quite bland and it left the restaurant part of the experience seem a little flat.
I have never seen tilt shift photography mixed with time lapse and Keith Loutit did just that. Check out this awesome video he created. You can read more about this artist at this article by the Telegraph.
