Business Cards

As Paul Young has mentioned before it is a great piece of advice for any artist or designer to collect as many business cards as possible, while at Dragon Con I collected a lot.  Here are some samples

Kerrygold Pin

I work in food service as part of a part time job, but I also work in graphic design for school.  Whenever I can I try to find ways where the two worlds collide.  Here is a little merchandising pin from Kerrygold Creamery

Blade Runner

For those who have or have yet to see the new Blade Runner, here is a quick reminder of what the old cover art looks like

Pokemon Cards

Pokemon Also came up in conversation during project 1, a lot of similar design elements that you see in Magic The Gathering you also see on Pokemon Cards

Magic Cards

There was a lot of focus on gaming related business for project 1 and Magic The Gathering was a subject that came up, for greater context on what those are and what they look like there are a few images below.  Each card involves several different design elements.  There is obviously font usage, symbol and logo usage, illustration and more.

Vintage Pencils

A few years ago I got a few sets of vintage pencils as a gift for Christmas and I just love a lot of the very old fashioned fonts and design styles shown on many of the cases here.  There's a little bit of Victorian influence on some as well as Art Deco on a few others.  These are the real deal, they were made back in the day when they still used lead which is not common to find in drawing pencils anymore.
