sasquatch!

my friend zack just called up and told me to check out the sasquatch festival.

this would be crazy fun. kings of leon, avett brothers, bon iver, demetri martin (kinda random but love it) and soo many more. three days AND camping. 

ugh sometimes i wish people didn't say anything to begin with so i didnt know what I probably will have to miss out on!

snuggie no more

ive wanted a snuggie for quite some time now, but ive traded that in for a Blankoat. tre sheik.

even in these summer months im gonna need something to curl up in for windy nights on the porch. perfect.

colors...or colours

just something every designer should know about.

colourlovers is an amazing resource for finding that perfect color or a pallette of colors that work well together. its like a search engine for colors with ratings, a way to save your personal favorites or make your own if you wanted to. 

enjoy!

book covers

book covers have always been a favorite of mine in graphic design and here i can look at thousands on one site. a large collection of beautiful book covers on bookcoversrchive.com 

the cover above is designed by Heads of State. all the information a designer would want to know about the cover including the typeface, designer and publication information is found on the site. go crazy.
