Business Card Inspiration

Seeking inspiration for business card design? Card Observer and OMG, it even has a watermark. There is some great work on these sites. Miles is one of my favorites.

designer undisclosed

Check out my cousin's recital flyers. I'm not sure if she did these, but whoever did def. has an appreciation for type and detail. I'm impressed!!

illustrations

Here are some illustrations I'm creating for PEAC, a freelance client. These icons will illustrate the values of PEAC, an organization that hopes to strengthen inclusive education, by encouraging people to work together, get involved, and strengthen communities, etc. We will probably print their brochure as one color.

CustomUSB

Vadim was very helpful recently as we were trying to order USB drives for an upcoming event. Their drives are VERY affordable. CustomUSB produces some incredible stuff.

Famous Letterheads

This site is a little screwy, but cool.

Too many Suds

The Great American Soap Overdose, by The Wall Street Journal. Yuch. This article was very interesting and beneficial, and also includes a neat interactive illustration (which they also printed) by Jason Schneider.

Be sure to read the comments! One guy mentioned how in Europe, when the efficiency washers first came out, they told everyone there was enough soap residue in their clothes that they didn't need to add any to their laundry loads the first couple washes. ich.

The woman who created these is my idol. They are hilarious! TeNeues prints them as cards. You can purchase them at most bookshops and order online.

great advertising

the sign in front of the Swiss Haus Bakery today. deeeeeeelish!

XX

Really into the XX right now, an alternative band from london. Check 'em out.

in the news

A friend of mine saw this on the news the other nite, and told me "Kate, you are the reason this man can't find a job." This guy blames his inability to find a job as a graphic designer on the younger competition. I was curious since the guy was a designer and all. I do agree that as you get older, this field is more challenging. To me, the biggest reason is that you probably want to sleep more, and don't have as much time to dedicate to ridiculously tedious projects. But I did a little research on this guy, and well, i don't think age is the reason he's not getting jobs. He refuses to adapt. Take a look at his site.
