diy; my lil' pony box

Made a my lil' pony box today. What I did is basically covered a box with the my lil' pony coloring book. It covers amazingly over old boxes, notebooks etc. I mean com'on who doesn't like them, they're so adorable. The bottom photo is of 2 notebooks I covered a while back, I am such a my lil' pony girly girl.

month of august

Month of August, it's my favourite design by far, what better than blue and pink together.

OH and so exiting, so today I went shopping at Urban Outfitters and I got two books I've been eye-ing for at least 2 years on crazy sale you will never guess how cheap I got them. They're both amazing illustrative artist I've been following for years. Both the books have amazing names, Like I give a frock by Kat Macleod and 100 girls on cheap paper by Tina Bering. Original they cost all together approximately $50 but today I got them both together for only $7, really, like get out, I am so blessed. I don't usually feature other work here, but this is just way too exciting, I had to share. Go get a copy at Urban Outfitter's right now.

sneak peak

Here's a sneak peak page of an upcoming site I'm building featuring the best work on this blog, to be finished by the beginning December. How exciting!

Here's May. Watched Where the Wild Things Are, cute but much more depressing and serious than I though would be hm.

font crush: museo

My current font crush is Museo, it's just so beautiful, and it's actually won a couple of awards:

the lovely imperfection

My first actually stop motion, called The Lovely Imperfection.

For my thesis I was inspired by my brother's poor eyesight. Often we see visual impairment as something defected but when seen as an art, the out- of-focus and blurring of color and objects, is something very beautiful indeed.

hbw; bokeh love

Best day of the week, Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

ambiguous

This post from flickr inspired me.

Had a long day of studying boo...

I decided that my pieces here are just way too random, so I gave myself a theme to make a 2010 calendar, I'll be so completely ready for it, sweet!

hbw; happy bokeh wednesday!

Happy bokeh wednesday!

you might ask, bokeh what's that?

The word Bokeh pronounced boke-aay or boke-uh, derived from Japanese language meaning "fuzzy or blurry" a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a low aperture camera lens. Essentially, to achieve bokeh the camera lens is to be adjusted to a shallow depth of field causing light distortion in the out-of-focus areas of the image into blurs of colors and shapes.

From now on every wednesday is bokeh day, just as it is on flickr!

good things come in 3...in this case 5

All good things come in 3, geometrics inspired me today again and the number 3, random much? Was feeling kinda lazy and uninspired today, maybe because of the long holiday and of course the turkey.

october, 12, 2009 | font crush: amandine

I've been pretty much obsessed with this font recently. Not the usually font I'd go for, fairly girly, but it has a nice crafty feel to it. Get it free at dafont.com.

october, 11, 2009 | verse-a-sunday: amos 15:5

Simple and straight to the point written in Amos 5:15 Hate evil, love good.

october, 10, 2009 | be my sunflower

So I went to my uncles for the break it was by Lake Simico, in a town called Geogia, probably the most suburban place I've ever been before, pure bliss.

october, 9, 2009 | by my house side

Finally finished finding the track for this. By My House Side is the very first stop motion I've ever made, it's only 10 sec. Photos taken with Canon 40D. Finished the video 2 weeks ago, just added audio today, so it doesn't count as blue right?

gobble gobble

Will be away for thanksgiving at my Uncle's cottage with no internet, so don't be expecting any work until after the break on Monday. I'll make up for todays too. Happy Thanksgivings, time to get super full on turkey gravy and cran mm. :)

epic fail

So I finished designing and putting this book today for one of my classes, without realizing that I designed it in blue (the color I'm not suppose to use this week) until my friends highlighted it to me. Shows how much I love the color blue, I designed without even realizing, wow, I failed... ugh. To make up for this failage, I will be push on this no blue design challenge for myself to design another week without the color blue. buh bye blue for a good too weeks.

drool like i do

So this is my 9 month old cute lil' half brother, Brandan. Wouldn't it be funny if there was a hip hop song called 'Drool like I do', random I know...

ps. amy- it's my baby fever

belief

I don't usually make things so dark in color, but since this week is all about designing without the color blue, why not black and white?

bread clips love

Something super random, my roommate Liberty always collects the most random things, like plastic bread bag clips, so I though I'd make something cute out of it. Plastic bread clips are actually real awesome, I did a little research- they're like little eco-friendly multi-taskers, find out 10 different ways to use them here.

----

Oh Yeh, I don't know if you've figured I tend to design everything, like everything in the color blue. It's just my absolute fav color and I can't seem to get away from it, ugh. I'm going to challenge myself this week to not design anything in blue, nothing...

verse-a-sunday: romans 13:14

So here's the idea, I am crazy in love with Jesus Christ. I am a big christian geek, and I'm proud of it, nothing in my life could measure up to how much Jesus means to me. I thought I share a little bit of this unconditional love he's poured out on my life through designing some awesome typography pieces of verses that have hit my heart for the week.

This weeks is Roman 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

count triangles today

I was totally bored today so I made a game for myself and my roommates. Why don't you give it try, count triangles today?

ps. tonight is Nuit Blanche, yay!

still rainy outside

So today toronto was super rainy. I only went out to get groceries and that's it, I really don't like it when it rains, thought I'd capture the mood.

don't burst my speech bubble

Geometric speech bubble is what inspired my today. I went to hit up the library yes, and found some awesome Japanese designs as inspiration, nice, simplistic, just my style. I think geometrics are coming back as a trend, I see it everywhere hmm...
