The hitch was that she had never baked before. Through her blog she narrates her failures and successes and lets her audience in on how the cupcakes tie in with what's going on in her life. Birthdays, new jobs, sports championships. And her photography is beautiful.

For example, if you were, say, a foodie, the page would be filled with current and relevant foodie events, restaurants to visit, etc. <a href="http://www.culturaltourismdc.org/">Cultural Tourism D.C.</a> is another great site. It points you to D.C.'s historic and cultural attractions.

Each year they have some big name designers pick their favorite typefaces. There were a lot of great display typefaces in this year's selection and it was fun to see a typeface which I had used in a project this year. <a href="http://typographica.org/">http://typographica.org/</a>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848026581600309774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716922866278580615.post-68446518396498475792008-03-27T07:02:00.000-07:002008-03-27T07:06:01.828-07:00Typography Day March 28 and 29<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKmEgu-ii0XGjMKRlKm6Oa0XavwZAbBQsRqXebDOgS_nvfyOb-_Mwv_4DzPEyhn2DbF0_uyxzil-J_CnP4PwAxYZOIRGGnCVBxck5tXV7luGJdqHD9F3SWLsLmnhylkl7nK72t97tvKQX5/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKmEgu-ii0XGjMKRlKm6Oa0XavwZAbBQsRqXebDOgS_nvfyOb-_Mwv_4DzPEyhn2DbF0_uyxzil-J_CnP4PwAxYZOIRGGnCVBxck5tXV7luGJdqHD9F3SWLsLmnhylkl7nK72t97tvKQX5/s320/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182422405965210242" /></a><br />This sounds like a great conference. It will feature two days of speakers and workshops dedicated to typography. Too bad it's in Bombay. <a href="http://www.idc.iitb.ac.in/~typo/index.html">http://www.idc.iitb.ac.in/~typo/index.html</a>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848026581600309774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716922866278580615.post-78719973597027851242008-03-26T11:34:00.000-07:002008-03-26T11:38:57.953-07:00Designing with Type<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJxEF600Bne6xTeTg_e-0J-vn2QtiiWH35wDVT3x6EiZKimfP2f_qUjhlqIeu3ApaOIU7CD_POaU3T-4hCoNaLUOsTbC770_MOjcZ-OdbMQotXJxTmRFbFVoD-KTgrGo_xxg8hAW963yp/s1600-h/l_bartscht.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijJxEF600Bne6xTeTg_e-0J-vn2QtiiWH35wDVT3x6EiZKimfP2f_qUjhlqIeu3ApaOIU7CD_POaU3T-4hCoNaLUOsTbC770_MOjcZ-OdbMQotXJxTmRFbFVoD-KTgrGo_xxg8hAW963yp/s320/l_bartscht.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182121461901746802" /></a><br />I found this image on the designing with type web site. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.designingwithtype.com">www.designingwithtype.com</a>. I love how the type mimics what is going on with the illustration. They have a huge list of student projects, to look through. Great for when you need some type inspiration.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06848026581600309774noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716922866278580615.post-63554918994230616952008-03-14T06:43:00.001-07:002008-03-14T06:49:01.832-07:00Cabin and Cub<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFaXqxZI8AvUZUlwGhqIh7ndET6JmGmWX5GGEbaCeLLfEwEBuLpHFPdTJkJmLVUGDGku_Jkz_PhR04Y_ptjAtmd_FAUOHZ-XCXgW0O68Ya2dLHHVWE8HvlA6OHCyjToYhIEz-Zrh9hIzsS/s1600-h/il_430xN.21034687.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFaXqxZI8AvUZUlwGhqIh7ndET6JmGmWX5GGEbaCeLLfEwEBuLpHFPdTJkJmLVUGDGku_Jkz_PhR04Y_ptjAtmd_FAUOHZ-XCXgW0O68Ya2dLHHVWE8HvlA6OHCyjToYhIEz-Zrh9hIzsS/s320/il_430xN.21034687.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177593474321394002" /></a><br />I love the kitchy look of these collage pieces. I can imagine them looking right at home on the wood paneled wall of a 1950's home. I also like the depth, which the artist creates using a colored, patterned background, a black and white line drawing, and a detailed, painted image.
