Typographic Calendars

Jaimi — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:00:52 +0000

Its calendar shopping time again! My favorite? Calendars that not just your typical calendars but rather creative calendars that provide both function for the everyday as well as design for the creative eye. I found a couple that combine the two things that I enjoy the most, typography and creative design. (1) 2012 Snow & Graham Calendars. Their graphic design is always so beautiful! , (2) 200 Year Typographic Letterpress Calendar. I love this calendar because it combines another two things that I love, a clean white layout and letterpress! (3) Type Callendar based on color and weather conditions.

Zimmer Regular. I love this font because of its clean and narrow stature, and it works very well for both text and display.

Adidas Unity

So my obsession started out with me being in the gym on the treadmill while watching a soccer game. The more I watched, the more I noticed the font on team Germany’s jerseys. So my time spent, went from a leisurely walk on the treadmill to a mad dash through the internet searching for the “germany, soccer team, font”. And after many websites, keywords and wrong fonts later, I finally found the right font… Adidas Unity, and I love it. I love it for it’s lean, clean, and long lines with soft corners and sophisticated feel.

I came across this image and instantly saw the beach. The hues of ocean blue, seafoam green and warm yellow make this a perfect beach color scheme.

I saved this image that I found on the web years ago. I love the colors in this image they remind me of a cool kids room.

Sometimes a client needs a new design for their logo. They have so many ideas…5 different colors, boxes, circles, birds, dogs, you name it they its been suggested! But sometimes all you need is a name and the typeface that brings home just the right feeling…Take a look at two beautiful examples of simple design identity by MeandMisterJones:

St Marie Font

I am currently working on a print design project for an attorney. The two most important elements of design in this project are the image and font choices. The imagery catches your eye and conveys emotion and experience while the font choice helps maintain consistency with the images and content of the project. I like St Marie for this project, it reminds me of a lighter, more airy, but professional version of courier new.

Im starting a new series of posts where we sketch out a re-design of an existing website. This will give you an idea of how we come up with website layouts and color schemes and the process of how we organize the content for the site. Hopefully these tips will help you come up with design concepts for your own website.

Good Facebook Page Design

Jaimi — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 05:58:55 +0000

I have seen many Facebook page designs by freelancers, large and small companies and what Ive noticed is that it really doesnt matter how large your company is, good design can sometimes come in small businesses. Another thing I noticed about many of the designs that I prefer is that they all have or interact with a white background. Some of the larger companies use a background this clearly separates the design from the page itself, where as using a white background with no border helps to integrate the design into the page itself. I prefer the latter…

Here are some examples of the more “boxed in” designs…

These two Facebook pages from Whole Foods and Victorias Secret, I DO like. Although they appear to have a similar “boxed in” border like the designs above, they still find a way to interact with the white space in the background…

Now the following designs I really like…Take a look at how the design is seamlessly integrated into the white space of the page itself…

If you are thinking of creating your own Facebook page design, keep these things in mind:

1. Incorporate your design into the white space, it looks cleaner.
2. Color scheme is key, using a bright color scheme gives your Facebook page good energy!
3. Less is more.
