Just a few pics of the letterpress invites I designed for my Mum's 60th birthday party. I also designed a custom return address stamp.

Just bought this great type print. Love it. What typographic mustache are you?

I've been designing invitations for a party my sister and I are throwing my mom to celebrate a milestone birthday. A perfect excuse for letterpress, right? I'm also trying to finagle a field trip to Typecast Press to see my invites come off the press. If I do, I promise to post pictures. In the meantime, I'm loving all the great letterpress stuff out there, and here are a few of my favorites.

Some photos from our recent trip to Ireland (and a couple from our last trip, too).

I'm a poet, and I didn't even know it. Check this haiku generator.

Rube Goldberg machines are the new stop motion.

I'm taking an ActionScript class this semester, and I'm surprised by how much I'm learning and (shock!) enjoying it. For our final project, we are going to be developing a Flash game, but in the meantime we've been working on these cat video games:

OK, so they aren't really cat video games, but Pumpkin Escobar seems to like them...

It's time for my semi-annual blog posting! In my last post, I mentioned this poster series for my Advanced Graphic Design class. The assignment was to design posters for three films by one director. The director I chose was Billy Wilder, and I focused on three of his films noir, Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, and Sunset Boulevard. I also designed the condensed modern typeface I used for the film titles (I call it Bill Noir), and I am pretty pleased with the final product (definitely click on the image for more detail).

Anyway, no promises, but if this snow keeps up, I might post again before July.
