Finding Type in the Sky

I love finding type and letterforms in strange places.  I have loads of random type-spotting pictures of construction signs, graffiti, plaques, blades of grass, old signs, packaging and more.  It’s definitely a passionate hobby of mine.  For those like me who enjoy finding type out in the word then I suggest the work of Lisa Rienermann.  Type the Sky is a photographic project that uses buildings and sky to create letters.  It’s exciting to think that there is type all around us, you just have to know where/how to look.

Look out graduation…

… here I come.  Commencement is just 10 short days away.  It’s a day I couldn’t really imagine for a long while, but it’s finally happening.  I will be receiving a BFA in Graphic Design and Illustration, and graduating with some honors (academic + leadership).  Not too bad.
