Circa Summer 2010

Sneak Peek into Plum Magazine

Don't call it a comeback

Apparently David Carson slowly made a comeback into magazine design with Little White Lies in 2010. With the amazing illustrations that magazine has put on their covers, Carson would be my last choice for designer- but to each his own. His next venture I do support: http://carsonmag.net/
Carson- the man himself...booze and all...will art direct and design each issue of C A R S O N the magazine, with six issues planned for 2011. I wonder if this will top RAYGUN. Tough act to follow, but I have faith in his poison.

Ps. I'm still a little mad at him for canceling last minute on teaching the London workshop I paid so much money for.

Verdana Banana

Great interview published in Computer Arts Magazine with Matthew Carter, typography legend- he designed Verdana. He has to be bankin: http://www.computerarts.co.uk/in_depth/interviews/matthew_carter

My boyfriend is better than yours.

Did I mention that my beau got me a fully functioning letterpress for Christmas? Because he did. And it made my cry. Isn't it the cutest?? Meet the Kelsey Excelsior 3x5 Letterpress who now has a home in my studio.

Everyone I know is getting really cute Valentine's Day cards this year.

In with the new!

Got a new gig in December of 2010! Plum TV and my old Ocean Drive crew are starting up Plum Magazine. My dream of working on a magazine from scratch...yup, accomplished!...I can take that off my bucket list! Seriously this is the bomb job. I'm ecstatic to come into work every day. From typography explorations to developing an identity for the magazine, to working with amazing people...be jealous. It's as awesome as it sounds.

And you know what they say..."the best things in life are plum."

Goodbyes are never easy

All good things must come to an end. SOBeFit Magazine is officially closed as of October 2010. I am proud to say I was a part in putting together the last issue as associate creative director. I feel like this was one of the most creative jobs I've had the opportunity to have and throughout my year there, worked with an amazing creative director, Hilary Fitch. She really let me explore every part of the creative process and pushed me to think outside the box. There is something really exciting about conceptualizing an idea with an illustrator or photographer, watching the process and seeing what comes out at the end. One of the coolest things about working there was collaborating with illustrators from the agency Debut Art. And Andrew, (el jefe at Debut), although a hardass, is a really cool guy. (Not to mention he has a fantastic British accent...so fab). SOBeFiT, I bid you adieu.

Oh, hi.

So...this is awkward...I've slacked on my blog. I've been busy.
In the spirit of resolutions and getting organized I am starting over in 2011. Here goes...
