“As with traditional periodic tables, this table presents the subject matter grouped categorically. The Table of Typefaces groups by families and classes of typefaces: sans-serif, serif, script, blackletter, glyphic, display, grotesque, realist, didone, garalde, geometric, humanist, slab-serif and mixed.”

Here’s a sneak peak of my wedding address labels (pseudo-address included). Hee.
We had an event at the office today and it was sponsored by my department, the User Experience team at Google. To help seal the deal, I designed the cookies with Google stars, map pins and search buttons on them. Huge hit throughout the company! And yummy too.
Often dismissed as cryptic by the common New Yorker, these NYC subway hieroglyphs actually provide some interesting information about our beloved subway cars to the MTA maintenance people. I think the decals are visually interesting, too.

My friend Kayla and her husband visited Banksy’s latest installation in NYC called The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill last year and were enthralled with his art so they decided to make their 2008 holiday cards “Banksy themed” — nice.
Here’s more on Banksy. He’s genius.

I was impressed by the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyland. First of all, the ride itself was really cool — they give you these laser guns to shoot at bullseyes on various robots and you get points for each hit. Once the ride’s over, instead of requiring you to purchase your in-game photo for a bazzillion dollars, they let you email the photo to yourself and the email includes links back to the Disneyland website. Rock on, Buzz!
I found the perfect opportunity to give an introduction of graphic design to my nephews, age 4 and 6, while we were hanging out at our hotel in Disneyland two weeks ago. I pulled up Adobe Illustrator in full-screen and showed them some of my work and then let them go crazy on a blank canvas — they loved it!
