Illustration Friday: Sail

Super late and didn't put as much work into it as I wanted.
Maybe I'll get to it another day!

Observations: Rosewood

Being in my profession, you come across many typefaces. What I love the most is that feeling I get when I recognize them in public. For instance, this typeface is called Rosewood which I happened to find on at least 3 different book covers on my most recent trip to Barnes & Nobles. It's interesting to see which subject a designer applied them to. In the cases I saw, two were cookbooks. One was a texmex cookbook, which I thought was highly appropriate.

Rosewood is one of those typefaces that has a nice look and applicable to more than a few topics, however it might never find a place in the corporate world.

Maybe that's why I noticed it around - I keep thinking of using it but never can!

(*edit: The other day there was a sighting of Rosewood at Quaker Steak and Lube used on a beer sign!)

Illustration Friday: Poof!

I've just recently become aware of Illustration Friday and thought I would give it a shot someday. Well, here's my first shot for Poof. I immediately thought of a transformation, so here's Prince Charming and a mishap.
