Had to share these groovy handmade letters by HandMadeFont on the Behance network.

Adobe Brilliant Website

I just read about this great new feature of the Adobe website called Adobe Brilliant (shown on Decor 8). It shows how different creative companies are using the Adobe Suite of software. I especially love the favorite features part where the creative staff describe the program feature that is most helpful to them.

Fashion Illustrator Barbara Hulankicki for Topshop

Today Topshop launched its collaboration collection with fashion illustrator Barbara Hulanicki. Barbara worked as a freelance illustrator covering fashion collections for Women's Wear Daily and British Vogue. She started the store Biba, which was a world famous England based company dominating the fashion scene in the 60's and 70's. Her collection for Topshop includes a lot of fun illustrations.

Packaging Design Bird Seed

I came across this bird seed packaging in a recent issue of Martha Stewart. The retro graphics and craft paper background make for a fun package, especially in a category that is traditionally pretty boring. The product is carried by All Seasons Wild Bird Store, a family-run chain of garden markets in the Twin Cities.

Macy's Flower Show Paper Flowers

I recently went to the flower show at Macy's in NYC and was so impressed by the beautiful paper flowers in the window displays. They were crafted by Eloise Corr Danch. The hats were especially spectacular.

Wedding Invitation Design New York

After many years of designing lavish invitations for magazine events in New York, I decided to offer a custom wedding invitation design service called Handle with Care. Custom letterpress invitations are a beautiful way to express something about each couple. And custom designed invitations cost about the same as pre-fabricated ones but are a much more unique and special option. Check out my wedding invitations custom service located in New York and tell your friends.
