The World Collabs #3

This month I decided to enter Abduzeedo's World Collabs competition that spotlights a novice designer by giving them an opportunity to work with a file supplied by an industry expert. You mess with the file, collab it up, and the winner gets bragging rights they've officially collab'd with this super cool already-made-it-big big deal of a designer (oh, and also $200). They've just posted all of the entries, and if you scroll alllllll the way down to #62 you can check out my interpretation. The winner is determined based on all the comments gathered from viewers (that could be you!) as well as the designer who created the original file (in this case, James White), and the Abduzeedo staff. So whoever you like best (don't worry, I won't take your un-vote to heart) please, pleaseeee be sure to show your support to your favorite by heading to the showcase by clicking here and leaving a comment mentioning which number you feel deserves the prize. You don't even need to become a 'member' to leave a comment! Easy, right? Here's a preview of what my entry looks like:

Baseball Cupcakes!

This past week we celebrated a co-worker's birthday. He just happens to be a ginormous Atlanta Braves fan, and I just happened to be in charge of the cupcakes, hence, baseball cupcakes! The flavor couldn't be anything other than FANfetti, with extra decorative wrappers, and a generous dose of vanilla whipped frosting with just regular red icing gel for the baseball detailing. I printed up a bunch of mini jerseys and once I had them all cut, I put a few of our names on the backs, but for the most part, kept with the current roster and mixed in some popular oldies. I taped all the jerseys to red and blue toothpicks and stuck em in each cake to finish it all off. Anddddd here is the deliciousness we all partook in!

Blackletter, #5

In case you were in need of a little blackletter fix, you've come to the right place! These too are posted in the same album as my hand lettering on my flickr. Enjoy!

I admit it, the bokeh had to go. I also admit that it probably wasn't one of the smartest decisions to begin with. So, welcome to my blog's third style in 2 months. I apologize for my fickle sense of blogger design direction, but hopefully I'll find a final aesthetic appeasing blog look soon. I'm also debating a switch to tumblr, and trying to get all my research complete before I take that step. I've been reading up on it a lot, but of course, there are always things that users would know better than anyone that hasn't used it before and is trying to figure everything out for the first time. So if there are any of you out there that could offer up some tips or helpful advice, it would be greatly appreciated/tumblr-ific? (sorry)
