Wow! Long time no post! I’ve been busy with the holidays and school, including this site for the DC Diamonds girls hockey team.
So here are some tasty links to tide you over for a while!
Making Art a Career at the New York Times-I think most artists have figured this out already, but it’s still an interesting article.
Yong Fook’s Dirty Little Web Design Secrets. This guy is a work-flow ninja.
I’m loving Paperback, a House Industries font! So beautiful!
Hopefully I’ll be back here soon, otherwise you can always find me at Kindrapolis!
This morning, when I woke up, I checked my feeds and came across this photo on Design Reviver. It was so beautiful, I had to check out Siebe’s entire photostream on flickr. *wow*
Then, I hopped from a swissmiss post to Cameron Adam’s blog to Marian Bantjes’ website and was blown away again! Her website is definitely worth exploring in depth!
So, I’m reading this article about fonts in the NYT, and it seems pretty standard, a lot like the article Slate posted a few weeks ago about fonts, when, at the very bottom is this quote…
Fonts can shape reality in intangible ways, as Phil Renaud, a graphic designer from Phoenix, discovered when he studied the relationship between his grades and the fonts he used for his college papers. Papers set in Georgia, a less common font with serifs, generally received A’s while those rendered in Times Roman averaged B’s.
which I found very interesting. I was a Palatino Linotype girl myself.
