Signs of the Zodiac
Anyone who knows me knows I’m pretty happy with my status as a Scorpio. I fit about 90% of the traits and am proud of even the bad ones. I’m crushing on this series of prints from Boston’s JSGD, a typographic representation of each signs high points that’s color customizable.

Branding 10,000 Lakes
I’m all kinds of in love with Nicole Meyer’s Branding 10,000 Lakes project for two reason.
1. I had the honor to be a Minnesotan for about a year and a half in the early aughts and loved it.
2. I adore design projects that tackle the same thing over and over again in various forms.
One Minnesota lake gets a logo every day, it’s simple. And if Meyer keeps it up she’ll have them all tackled in a mere 27 years.
