Made Me Smile
I absolutely love Saul Bass. One of the many goals behind design is to speak to people in a familiar language but also in a new language. One that captivates people to understand something and to be excited about that something. Saul Bass’s work does just this. This video is a perfect example of just how amazing he is.

Made Me Look

It’s not often that annual reports are designed with style and humor. Mailchimp’s report does just that. I love the little animations, icons, and content.

Made Me Think

“Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.” I think as a creative, there’s this desire to be both alone and to be with others. Finding that balance within a relationship of any kind can be difficult. This beautiful article talks about the importance of both love and independent growth.

New Music I’m Listening To

I was recently introduced to Agnes Obel and she’s been on repeat since. I’m loving the way she composes her music and lets face it…anything with a cello is pretty awesome.

Quote I’m Pondering

“The decision to be loving and kind to all of life, including your own at all times no matter what. To be forgiving, to be gentle, to be that which is supportive of life. That becomes what you are.”-David Hawkins
