It’s finally fall here, although I’m not sure the trees know that. They’re still very green and seem to be dragging their feet when it comes to changing color. Fall is my favorite season. Something about the snap in the wind makes me feel more alive somehow. I always find myself wanting to spend all my time outside right about now…I would love to explore places I’ve never been with one or two people and my camera. Maybe someday. {all images via pinterest. clockwise, from top left: 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5}

My favorite from these Pinterest images is the top left one…I am fully convinced that the logos that are not complex or busy are the ones that make the biggest impact. When I started out as a graphic designer I thought the power of a visual identity lay in choosing the right kind of illustration (the more detailed the better). I used some…
Bleu Alice : Blog Design
This design is probably one of my very favorites so far – I love its simplicity, with the little elements here and there that make it what it is. I think my favorite part is the handwritten “Bleu Alice” at the top…I love incorporating hand lettering into designs. Alice was so easy and fun to work with, and since we have very similar taste when it comes to design it was even easier to achieve what she was looking for. Visit her site here! I don’t normally include what could be termed a “brand board,” but because there were some…
