1. Early this year, I fell in love with letterpress. I just love the tactility of it and how it literally adds a unique feel in print design. This afternoon, I received a lovely package from David of Studio On Fire, which is a design and letterpress studio in Minneapolis, MN. I’m a big, big fan of them so you could imagine how excited I was when I opened my mailbox today! The design is top notch and the colors are so bright and stunning. @ u @ Great stuff.

    Thanks, David!

  2. #2 my phone and my gps died on me today

    it was getting late, i was somewhere in the 60 freeway driving aimlessly with half of a quarter tank of gas and i couldn’t call anybody if i needed help. and that’s when i realized how ridiculously dependent i was on technology. how all this time i allowed it to think, remember, and make decisions for me! with some common sense i did manage to find my way to my destination, and found myself driving 72 miles back home.

    but feeling lost and vulnerable for a while was actually kind of exciting.

    hmm.. the fact that i believe that all things are inherently good is probably ruining my sense of judgement.

  6. Yesterday, I got to see the opening of CSULB’s BFA Graphic Design show “20 FOLD”. Aside from seeing great individual work and impressive craftsmanship, I enjoyed looking at the social campaigns that they worked on in teams. I love seeing proposals of design in a social context. Be sure to check it out if you’re in the area! & congrats and thanks to Nellie for inviting me!
