Website

So it’s been a bit quiet over Christmas, mainly because I really don’t live up to my gender and I can’t multitask. But at least the magazine is (almost!) finished. Ish. And the flash is as finished as it’s ever going to be. Whilst I’ve been enjoying the holidays let me show you what I’ve been up to.

My website! It’s finally in action, though a lot more work needs to be done before it’s anything like the plans. At least I’ve got some stuff up. The main title image is the only one not by me, but I’m so in love with it I felt it had to be used. It’s from the children’s book “John and Jane” and if you can ever get any of these books, do, because they’re a great resource for graphic illustration circa 1950′s if you like that. Anyway;

So that’s that. Back to the magazine.

Okay, a few links for you today to get over the fact that I’m ill. Booo.

TypeNavigator is a handy little tool that allows you to choose the aspects of fonts which you like. It will then find the font to your description. Brilliant help when you’ve reached the end of your tether as I have been doing a lot at the moment!

For Webdesigners is  a great resource for… well… webdesigners. It hosts those things that you need to have quick reference to, and is a beautifully designed website in it’s own right.

Vance Wellenstein ,apart from having the best name ever, has a site for inspiration. Great for the magazine project, his work includes everything, even catalogues. Worth a look.

Mike Perry is my man at the moment. I absolutely love him. His illustration, his type, everything. And his book is called Hand Job, which believe me has started up a few conversations. I know what I’m asking for for Christmas.

And finally. I really believe that all work should be done with as much of you in it as possible but Vector Magic makes for a serious question of beliefs. It really works! (Notice how Vince Noir is the first thing I choose to vectorise!)

    

Also, I’ve been doing a bit of website work myself. I’ve recently finished a design involving the lovely Captain Jack from Torchwood for a friend.

Every one needs a bit of the Captain in their life.
