I seem to be drawn to designs on jars.

Take a look at these beauties.

I’ve always enjoyed drawing type. Back when I was in high school and my sister was in college I remember when she brought home a Letraset catalog. I flipped through that catalog in amazement at how many typefaces there were. I used to xerox pages and blow them up so I could see each letter larger and then proceed to draw my own words and phrases in “fun” typefaces like – Party! Let’s just say, my taste has improved since then.

The internet is an amazing place where each and every day you can find something new, exciting and inspiring. In my flickr-browsing I came across the type junkie. And while getting lost in her photos and endless creative blogs and websites I landed on this youTube video.

The name Paula Scher, for me, will always be synonymous with inspiring handwritten typography, and good design.

If you have landed here via define23.com, welcome. I hope you are enjoying my personal website. This personal blog is still in the works. I have lots of ideas, but the online publishing part is making me consider my words very carefully. All that’s here for now are a few “about” pages. Come back soon for more exciting content.

Until then, I will leave you with the highly entertaining Virgin America flight safety information video. I recorded this on my flight back to Los Angeles from Dulles Airport – there’s a tiny interruption in filming for a goofy appearance by my husband and I. The departure from the usual made me pay attention to this flight information that I have heard countless times. The illustration route was a brilliant design decision, if I do say so myself. Keep your seatbelt securely fastened – it’s time for the design police blog to take-off!
