Almost a year ago tonight, I was thinking of something to do to improve my understanding of an open source application, further my design skills, change my brand from beer to design, and strengthen my connections to key groups of friends, like librarians. All I have to say is that if you want to know something through and through, if you want to truly make it a part of you, if you want it to soak in, do it every day and share it.

One of my most devoted supporters in this project, Beth, asked me if I could find a way to honor her astrological sign or her Native American nation of Penobscot. I decided to do the one that I knew the most about, in order to avoid any unintended faux pas. I hope you love it, Beth, and I just wanted to say I appreciate your support, as always!

The Strange Woods
The Strange Woods

 

I got approached a while ago by none other than two of my favorite Librarians, Julie Strange and Andy Woodworth, about the idea of helping them to brand a new blog venture that at the time was tentatively called “The Strange Woods” which has to be the best name ever conceived out of two author’s names. I recently freed up my sketching schedule and got to work to produce these mockups for their blog header. Unfortunately, I just got word back that naming the project is still underway, and The Strange Woods is likely going to be called something else. I really loved the designs, though, and thought I’d share them with you.
