The Art of Typography
A designer friend Faye Brown is running an awesome course called 'The Art of Typography' on skillshare in a few weeks and I wanted to share it with you all. Faye's course is full of useful and exciting exercises to help you learn to communicate effectively through typography and even create your own typefaces!
You can use the discount code ALPHA to receive 15% off the course (great huh?)
Faye has also created a gorgeous font called 'Pixel' which you can download here!

Tigerprint Hand Drawn Typography Competition
I recently submitted some designs into the Tigerprint Hand Drawn Typography Competition
I hand drew the type and illustrations and then scanned them in and developed them in Illustrator.
Below are my 5 entries each using a different phrase, colour palette and style. I had so much fun working on this project, I don't often hand draw pieces with a pen on paper and this particular style of typography and illustrations is something I used to do a lot when I was at college.
It felt like getting back to my roots and I have now drawn even more pieces which I hope to develop and share soon! I may even sell the designs as prints if people would like to buy them!
You can see the designs on the Tigerprint website here.. 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5

I've been meaning to post about Pinterest for ages but have been so busy with work! It's just 6 weeks until final hand in for my degree today.. EEEK. Too much to do is an understatement! But having joined Pinterest a few months ago I have found it has been great inspiration for my projects, I have created a board for each of my projects, in fact sometimes two, and used them as research and inspiration boards throughout the projects. It's great to find likeminded people and share things! So I thought I would share a snippet of those boards!
I have a lot of boards, but will just post a few screenshots of some of my design based boards. You can follow me by clicking on the link below! Really will post some design work soon, PROMISE!
