So this is a short tutorial of how to do something practical in Inkscape –create a header with a gradient from white to photo. See the video in this post to get all of the details of how it’s done.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who watch and take part in 365 sketches. Without you this would just be me drawing pictures in a small dark room.

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.

So I realized a long time ago that Radiohead’s song “Creep” and Queens of the Stone Age’s song “How to handle a rope” (I think; I’ll check) “You can’t quit me baby” both use the beautiful lyric I illustrated here. Yeah it’s a little sad, but who doesn’t want someone to miss them? Anyway this is just a series of fonts overlapped on a gradient background in Inkscape.

It is likely that I am just upset that it’s not a TiVo remote, but I really think this remote has some incredible design flaws.
