This is beautiful!  Would you ever see this on American talent shows?  I doubt it, but how much we miss when we decide that shock or glitter are the deciding factors of entertainment.

If you have ever had a client ask you for the spot colour or PMS for some CMYK artwork you’ve created, you know that what you see on your computer screen is not always the same as what a printing press will output.  So, what to do?

Worth the trip to the internet today!

I think it’s really cool:

The Longest Way 1.0 - one year walk/beard grow time lapse from Christoph Rehage on Vimeo.

In other news, I had my first friend-date since I’ve been in Toronto (yes, my social life has been that sad).  I’ve kind of been in an adjustment period and as a result, I think I introverted a little more than I should have.  Anyway, broke the fast with the friend equivalent of homemade eggs benedict with hollandaise.  Yum!  Tina, you are awesome and I had so much fun laughing with you tonight and I’m so looking forward to more!

Man, things have been busy!  Tons of work under my belt the past few weeks, which is always exhausting but highly gratifying.  I still can’t share the best stuff, but here’s a few little tidbits to tide you over:

And surfing the net today yielded some lovely inspiration for life:

• First, a woman with true strength
• Second, an awesome little tool for readers at the end of their rope
• Third, find out what you need to be billing to stay in business

Nope, it’s not deja vu… it’s more link love!

• First, a special gift from Coldplay.  How sweet!
• Are you seeking some funky new typefaces?  Look no further!
• How cute is this? Here fishy, fishy, fishy!
• I totally want this!
• This is impossibly cute and functional.  What more could a designy type girl want?  …aside from that cute bag, of course!
• If that wasn’t enough for you, these “personality socks” certainly should be!  It’s JaneFonalicious!
• For those of you with some time on your hands, this could entertain you for a while…
• Gotta new iphone and want to dress it up?  Got an old one and want to freshen it up?  Have fun!
• An interesting article on the sexy world of FDA politics, South American countries and a certain cola giant.  I especially enjoyed Dr. Mercola’s commentary.  Very, very interesting.

In other news, I have moved and am now a happy inhabitant of downtown Toronto once more.  Good times!

Some great little finds today.  Enjoy!

• How to make your designs pop.  Who couldn’t use a little of that?
• Your logo design checklist.  Don’t forget to build file preparation into your pricing!
• The ultimate Typography wallpaper for nerds.  And in case you didn’t already know, we’re all nerds!

Tomorrow is the big move… see you in a few!
