I thought I’d start sharing a bit more of the work that I’m doing on here. These moodboards have been put together for a logo that I’m currently designing. The client is looking for a young and relaxed feel to the brand using a palette of pink hues. Will keep you posted on my progress!

Happy Font Friday everyone!

I’m on the lookout for some artwork at the moment. So these typographic maps by duo David Klinker and John McCauley of Orange & Park definitely caught my eye.

There is a big white wall in my new abode that desperately needs some artwork on it. I think this artwork by Kevin Appel would look perfect.
