Good Night, Wanda

I’ve been a fan of Sarah Parrot’s work for a few years. Her simple, classic designs make me want to leave New York and start my own letterpress studio where I could make beautifully designed stationary. Oh yeah, and her hand lettering on this card makes me want to get back to my own lettering work.

Graduation is only 6 months away! So I’ve started thinking about creating personal business cards and letterheads and such. I thought this design for Myriann Hotels by Foundry Collective was wonderful.

Check out this infographic take on a calendar. This project combines so many things I love about design. I would recommend heading over to Marius Wathne’s site to take a look at the whole project and check out his other work.

I finally had a chance to check out Hatch Show Prints. Great inspiration for classic country, vintage-style posters.

I JUST found out the lovely lady behind Type Truck, the traveling moveable type project, will be coming to Brooklyn this weekend! Between all my school projects I’m going to have to see if I can squeeze in some time to drop into Brooklyn Flea for a visit.

Sometimes I dream about buying an old printing press and setting up shop in a warehouse with huge windows. I imagine it would look something like this video of Trip Print Press.

Awesome hand drawn type by Daren Newman.

Check out this awesome boo cover for the Brazilian version of Journey to the Center of the Earth by Carlo Giovani. I love the paper cut effect and pitch perfect typography.

Did you know that you can view vintage WPA posters at the Library of Congress Website? I know! I had a hard time picking one of the posters… so I picked 2. But it could have easily been a dozen. If you’re looking for a time suck, I highly recommend heading over to the site and taking a look for yourself.
