Hiatus

Hi!  I hope you all are doing well!  Just to let you know, I will be going on hiatus for one month.  No blogging, no social networking, just getting in touch with other areas of my life (and nature!).  Check out my other blog for a little more info.

Until then...

Helvetica Neue

This is my absolute favorite font.  It's so pretty.  It's sexy.  It's thin.  I would compare this font to a top shelf margarita on a hot summer day!  In fact, this is one of the fonts that I use in my logo.  See?

Since this is a thin font, it can be seen as feminine, luxurious and/or modern.  This would be fitting for a woman's brand or product, but with the right colors, imagery and words, this can be masculine as well. 

Here are a few examples of where this font was used.

So, what's your favorite font and why?

Back to the Future

The internet is a funny place full of inspiration! I came across something tonight that I thought was uber cute and I may consider trying myself...one day.

Photographer Irina Werning is working on a project called "Back to the Future" in which the subject chooses a picture from their childhood and recreates the scene down to the clothes, accessories and even location of the original picture {if possible}. See what I mean?





If I tackle this, I'll let you all know. Perhaps it could be a piece of wall art in my home...

Skulduggery

This is totally random, but I was watching the first Batman movie this past October, and I heard this quote from the Penguin:

"Now hear this, now hear this. This is your Captain speaking. My fine pinioned pirates, we're approaching the tricky buoy! Sharpen your cutlasses! There may be skulduggery ahead!"

I have a Dictionary app on my phone, so I looked up Skulduggery and the definition is:

Dishonorable proceedings; mean dishonesty or trickery: bribery, graft, and other such skulduggery.

Immediately this word started making cameos into my everyday conversations. Since it was around Halloween, it also felt fitting to say "Skulduggery or treat!"

Dialogue and the choice of words in movies seemed to be better back in the 40's, 50's and 60's. They utilized great words, it's mind-boggling to see how far we have moved away from it.

Okay, done with the random thoughts.
