Hey!

“Pursue your love and the money will follow. Pursue the money and the Love will rarely follow.”

David Johnson-

Man I’m still processing this.

Type Design I love it!

As a Graphic Designer I have to master the world of typography. Although it’s not my expertise I really enjoy working with type. You can do really cool stuff.
I did a type book in school here are some pages of it. It was a fun project

Gill Sans one of my favorite fonts. Gill Sans is smooth
The most elegant of the sans-serifs; Gill Sans is pure and simple.



Bodoni, sophisticated, daring.Bodon is known for its famous thin hairlines and contrasting strokes. Very similar to Didot. Perhaps is considered too beautiful for its own good, but if used correcty it will impress any type face that gets in the way.



Baskerville is one of a kind typestyle. No typeface fits into its classificaton. Its a transitional typeface.


Bembo is a Classic type-face. Carries some heritage of calligraphy.
Excellent type-face design for bodies of text . I love bembo its so,,, Classy.



Garamond old style type-face. Claude Garamond is generally credited with establishing the first type foundry. He was the first type designer to create faces, but had little success in his business, he died owning nothing. Eventually his typefaces were used throughout Europe. And now I used it all the time for type!

Franklin Gothic-Transitional of the sans-serifs considered a grotesque sans-serif
Is good for headlines in advertising.




I thought I’d share some type info. Maybe type can be appreciated more this way?

This i pretty deep. Read on

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, and some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. After all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.” “Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it ’s just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups…and then began eyeing each other’s cups.” “Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, houses, cars, things, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. God brews the coffee, not the cups … enjoy your coffee. “Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s perfect, It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections”
