Found Type: Park Slope

Yesterday, I was running around like a crazy woman trying to run all the errands, finish as many things as possible before I leave for 2 weddings/vacation on Friday… (yes, I’ll be on vacation! I sooo need it, I can’t wait!) and found cool type… I had to take photos… found some more… had to take photos… so here are my type finds from all over the Park Slope. (it is a huge area)

This big garbage bin had lots of cool type and texture…

This bar on 5th Avenue north Park Slope is covered entirely with chalkboard outside. Even their store sign is written in chalk! (and they still have chalkboards out, too…)

Love the hand-lettering.

What a fun idea! Especially for a bar – unfortunatelly, I didn’t find any chalks to doodle around when you are hanging around outside… oh.. that might not work out too well… I don’t know what the drunken people would doodle… :)

Have a great day!!

Creative Wedding Invites

I had to post this here, for my inspiration and for your inspiration, but when I saw this wedding invites over at Design*Sponge today, I was in shock! How creative! I loooove the story and the design; lots of typography, very simple, cool, and you can easily follow their lovely story in such a fun way, it is definitely one of the best wedding invites I’ve ever seen. (besides mine… hehe)

Makes me want to design our story like this… :) How cute would that be? Maybe for our 10 year anniversary or something :)

The Magic Calligraphy

This video really makes me want to take a calligraphy class, which I have been thinking about for sometime now… I mean, can you imagine handwriting letters like this?! A-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Good morning and Happy Friday!
