And a Holiday Card


Duh.

Thank You Cards

It's Christmas, which means lots of Thank You cards are coming up. I tried my hand at a few variations.

So I rarely find graphic design poster stores that I like (call me picky), but society6 has some great options. Most of their products come in posters, stretched canvases, framed art prints, laptop and ipod skins & covers, t-shirts, and hoodies.

advice on job seeking

1. Have a brilliant portfolio. Sounds obvious, but, you know…

2. Have a website. A Flickr page. A blog. A zine. Anything that shows that you’re a proper design nut.

3. Find out who to contact: Letters that start ‘Dear Sir / To Whom it may concern’ suggest you haven’t done even the basic research.

4. Don’t spend ages telling them why you’d benefit from a placement, but do spend a while telling them why they’d benefit from having you as a placement.

5. Be flexible on your timings.

6. Proof read your email / CV / portfolio. Then do it again. And again. Then get someone else to do it a couple of times too

Creating a new Chiquita Banana Font



This is so cute and fun. Nothing like the real product as inspiration for the Chiquita Banana label.

watch the making at http://vimeo.com/27727577


By the way, sorry with the ugly posts so far, i'm not sure why but blogspot has taken away their post prettyfication options.
