Aren’t grumpy people cute sometimes? I think so. Well, at least when they’re fictitious. Real people who are grumpy make me sad. Anyway, here is another Photo Booth illustration of me distorted.

So what do comic book nerds do other than imagine being a super hero? They come up with inventions that should be made by brilliant and bored scientists and engineers. That’s what today’s design consists of.

Know what Superman, Spider-man, Wolverine, and Wonder Woman have in common? How about the Joker, Lex Luthor, Dr. Doom, and the Hob Goblin?

In the middle of the night where there is nothing to do, girls can be really creative. In their pj’s and computer in hand, they can create some weird songs, dances, and jokes that no one else thinks is funny. I think that is the reason why I think they are so cute: they’re just weird. Today’s post celebrates one of those weird creations they came up with one late boring night.

Ever fall in love with an aspect of a typeface and want to combine it with another typeface characteristic that you like? Well, today I played Frankenstein and combined the flourishes of old Western block lettering with the non-vertical axises of a variety of typefaces. Want to see what I created?

Did you know that I am part Swede? Well, I am. With that bloodline, comes a couple of traditions, including the oldest daughter serving breakfast in December wearing a funny costume, eating a lot of pastries, and having a Dala horse in their house. Well, today, I made pattern to celebrate all of that.

One month down in making this blog, the rest of my life time to go. Today we are celebrating the first month of Design of the Day with another Photo Booth creation. Want to see what obscure alien we can make?

Starting from a supplied InDesign file, LA-based web designer, Shelby Moulden, built the front-end HTML, CSS, and PHP for Kristina Chung’s portfolio web site and matching custom CMS for easy editing.

Today is another drop cap day and I for some reason was in the mood to make another weapon-themed letter. Why? I’m not sure but hopefully you and your merry men will like it anyway.
