Hummingbird


Communication Arts January/ February 2013

It never occurred to me the fonts and typography was an art. I now see that it is very important and fun art to learn as a designer. I enjoy Laura Worthington's type face design because its so elegant and sensitive. I love the way each letter is capable of connecting with each other so fluently, the way it moves constantly while trying to keep the shape of a humming bird. Its a very beautiful font and I am now interested in taking up calligraphy to learn to write and create beautiful type like this.

MyThai Identity


Communication Arts Janurary/February 2013

Mythai is a Thai food restaurant in Brazil. Their logos create a sense of movement and uses a lot of Thai style art. Like Asian calligraphy and lotus flowers. The logos and designs are well done. I especially appreciate the colors, more Asian like. Its a very traditional look. Designed by Roberto de Vicq de Cumptch.

Studio Shine

Communication Arts November/ December 2012


I had found an article about a motion graphic studio, Shine. It was founder by Michael Riley. The studio had many clients from Dreamworks, Fox, to commercials. They created animated and spontaneous designs that all viewers would enjoy watching. They created opening and endings for Kung Fu Panda, Modern Family, Raising Hope, The News Room an many others. I posted the ending credits for Dreamwork's Kung Fu Panda.
