So, I did this subject before, but I haven’t made a mix tape in a long time. We get totally spoiled with tools like Pandora and iTunes Genius feature, and we kind of forget what it was like to hand craft a series of songs into a thoughtful, personal gift. A playlist, hand crafted and burned would likely make someone feel pretty special.

I had a very close friend ask me to do a typography study of the text-based heart that we use in chats, in the form of less than 3 (<3). Not surprisingly some fonts work far better than others for conveying a heart.

A friend of mine is planning her wedding, and asked me if I might consider some monograms for the event. I said that I thought it was a great idea. The screencast gives a very good idea of how I typically make graphic identity work.
