Monday, February 8th, 2010
Developed by the global design company, and well respected, Pentegram, What Type Are You? is a fun video that asks personality questions that later reveals to you what type (or font) you are. I have to admit I feel like I am really bad at these things because I tend to answer the questions thinking that the answer would turn into something I want!

Standard Social – Kansas City Fashion & Lifestyle Publication
Saturday, February 28th, 2009
For the past month I have been working hard to launch a online fashion/lifestyle publication called Standard Social. It is a part of Standard Style Boutique in Kansas City. It features articles on local Kansas City events and entertainment, music and movie reviews as well as health & fitness articles, fashion trends and tips and finally a section called “On The Streets” where I go out in the city and take photograph of great people with a good sense of fashion.
Check it out: Standard Social (www.standardsocial.com)!

The Book Cover Archive
Friday, January 9th, 2009
The Book Cover Archive is, well, just that. A website that catalogs the designs of many different book covers. I love book covers. On sheet of paper has to sum up or identify multiple other pages that are full of stories, facts, illustrations etc. Check it out.
PS. Did I mentioned I designed my first book cover? It was also my first photograph for a book cover. The book is called Grace Is For Sinners by Serena Woods. Check it out here: http://www.graceisforsinners.com.

Otl Aicher – 1972 Munich Olympics
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008
Otl Aicher, also known as Otto Aicher, was a German graphic designer who designed the 1972 Munich Olympics event design. This is probably one of my favorite branding because it is so consistent through out every piece. The typography is timeless and the designs for each piece are unique to their own sport but are stylized with confidence in color and composition.
Take a look at Otl Aicher on Flickr.
