Typophile's Scrabble

To be honest, I never was a huge fan of Scrabble until I started playing a version of it on the iPhone. Now I must have about 5 ongoing games... I am also reminded of what a sore loser I am... When I lose, that is.

Now if only this was real and available to purchase... Unfortunately it's a concept version of the word game by Andrew Clifford Capener and I am sure that I'm not the only one out there who's wanting lusting over this.

Ampersands Rock!

Recently, I was looking at some ampersands to use in a logo I was fantasizing about making, (given that it's one of those little personal projects of mine, it might never see the light of day), and I realized how much I love it.

The ampersand & (yes, that eight-lookalike symbol everyone's having trouble drawing has a name and a history, which is actually worth reading on wikipedia) always fascinated me because, i) it was always a challenge to draw and, ii) I don't know, I guess the fact a character deriving from two letters, which bears a story and meaning, excites the graphic designer in me. So, imagine my reaction when I found this blog on the SwissMiss blog. 300&65 Ampersands is essentially a daily celebration of the ampersand, one everyday.

Serif Tote Bag & A4 Tee

I know a certain someone who'd love that serif tote, and I would love that A4 tee. I do love being a graphic designer... (via)
