For the approaching halloween holiday, design.org asked me to illustrate some scary type situations. The first offender: Papyrus.

Papyrus had its time, and that was in ancient Egypt when it was used to make mummies and scrolls. So the next time you're thinking about using it on a fine dining menu, resume or billboard, ask yourself, "does this go well with embalming?"

Look for my next Scary Type Situation next Friday!

The Catch Me if You Can title sequence is such a cool and memorable animation, I was excited to see some behind-the-scenes images (and an interview) over at The Art of the Title Sequence.

Have you ever noticed the ever-expanding collection of icons on Facebook? The original forms, designed by Aaron Sittig, needed to be re-imagined for larger formats and a broader range of uses.

A wedding is such a personal event, and I love how seeing designers' tackle the task of creating their own invites and identity for the celebration. It's almost candid to see how they use their skills on a project they are passionate about.

Brian Hurst's design is no exception. He designed the save the vintage modern date and invite package for his wedding featuring a classy color group and great type, and I think it's just lovely.
