Happy belated new year — I hope 2010 is treating you all well thus far! Things have been pretty crazy professionally and personally since the new year began, but it’s all been great stuff! Today I am wearing heels to work rather than snow boots for the first time since before Christmas, and I am a happy girl.
In 2010 I plan to post more about design, advertising and fashion, as well as all my travels for work. If you like what you see, I hope you will leave me a comment! And now, for the first Grabby ‘n Stabby of 2010!
GRABBY
• Who wouldn’t want to display these gorgeous products on either a vanity or bathroom counter? The packaging reminds me a little of Agent Provocateur’s beauty products, which isn’t surprising since the products are from another lingerie line, La Senza. I LOVE lace patterns, I need to create a project for myself so I can play around with them.
• Awesome poster project on FPO. I love dioramas. I love posters. I love combining offset and letterpress.
• Hella high heels. And boots.
• Have I mentioned that I’m engaged? Well, I am. No, David didn’t propose in a cute way — I’m not too keen on romance stuff or surprises. No, we don’t have a date. We’ve got ideas of what we want to do, but we’re not ready.
• I got to help out a friend last week by doing a logo for a fundraising event she’s volunteering to organize. It was a fun little fast project, and it was nice to do something for a good cause. I’ll post the logo soon!
• Awesome friends like Joi who will bring me things from H&M!!
• Watch this cute interview with members from Pink Martini regarding their new album.
• I like the idea of designing for the Kindle once they have color screens and offer more options! From the looks of it I won’t have to wait long.
• If you’ve had any sort of conversation with me about things that inspire me, then you probably know I LOVE old signage. Smashing Magazine has a round up of some great old signage this week that I bookmarked immediately! Note all the Flickr groups linked at the end for more signage goodness!
• Johnny Cash’s letterhead, circa 1060.
STABBY
• Packing. We’re so excited about moving, but packing, and planning are at the same time awesome and overwhelming.
• Speaking of, apparently H&M and Wal Mart routinely destroy unpurchased clothing and throw it away. This makes me sick for so many reasons.
• When ads drop out.
• Posting stuff to sell on Craigslist. I love selling crap I don’t need, but the whole process of having strangers come to my home is just ick.
I’ve got some fashion posts and some other things coming up, as well as additions to my portfolio so stay tuned!
