Practice what you preach. Embrace the changes coming. Ride the tides that rise and crash. Ever evolving. Do not stagnate. Adaptation. Focus on the forward.

What am I picturing: a danish mid-century teak, black-buttery leather arm chair. A cashmere scarf. Bourbon. Feel cozy yet?

A note about the black in this color palette:
If you’re a designer, you know that CMYK stands for the printing process that uses 4 diffferent inks: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. This is known as 4-Color prints. Any black that consists of more than one ink is referred to as a Rich Black. It’s the black that’s “blacker than black.”

More technical jibber jabber: Don’t go using Rich Black for small type on something that’s to be printed in large quantities on thinner paper*. If the printer’s registration is a smidge off, this can ruin the legibility of your type.

*That’s a lot of caveats, you might say. Well, yes, there are a lot of factors that go into this equation but this is a good general rule. Your mileage may vary using heavier weight, more absorbent paper (not glossy) or small enough quantities that great care goes into each individual print.

Uh…hi! <3

Zingy, zippy and tart.

Classic drama. 1940s noir. Red ball downs. Thick Cat eyeliner & red lipstick. Swank.

Rustling leaves crunching under your feet. Frost settling into air and your lungs. No snow just cold. Cold. Cold. Everyone’s breath has become clouds, exhaled into the winter.

A little joie de vivre. Ingenue. Je ne sais quoi. Let’s string a few french phrases together & see what works. Gros Bises.

Delicate and saucy. Satin underpinnings. Coy, rolling shoulders & eyelash flutters. Girlish and game.

Someone’s dialed down the saturation. Lights are low and everything’s shallow and far away at the same time. Infinity stretches and yawns.
