Design & Illustration: Blog Header

Header designs I needed to do asap for a blog with content for brides and bridesmaids...I was really inspired by Robin Zingone's website. I found her thanks to Illustration Mundo. I really wanted HER to design this, but alas, I think she is a tad busy being famous...All I can say is WOW! Enjoy!

Experimenting in Illustrator

Experimenting in Illustrator with the sketch of Bella. Still working on it. Maybe will do a stamp or linocut also with the MasterCarve carving block. I like Bella's name in Petras font (hard to see unless you click on the image) I got from Veer. Speaking of type and fonts, last night there was a great documentary on Helvetica (PBS/WSKG here) and how ubiquitous it is. There were also great comments from Massimo Vignelli and David Carson (typeface designers). I pictured many people watching it and just scratching their heads wondering why? The answer is that
Helvetica is like air....
