Typographic Imagery

Continuing with the typographic theme, if you’re into graphic design as I am, here’s a museum for you to check out next time that you’re in New York City, the Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography. I first learned of this center from Creative Review. I think it might be fun for my son Jackson and I to visit, since we constantly try to guess the typestyle or font used for most everything we see. I was surprised, however, that their website wasn’t more informative. It is located at 41 Cooper Square at The Cooper Union.

Since graphic design is mentioned in this post, here are 50 excellent graphic design blogs (besides above). Toxel is just one featured and they show more than just graphic design like this 3D street art being used in Canada to get drivers to slow down. Interesting idea but it might cause me to get in an accident even if I wasn’t speeding.

On ocondesign, I really enjoyed learning about the step by step process used to create logo design for Thomas & Gray Furniture.

Graphic design and typography always makes me think twice about the everyday script and logos that we see daily and might even take for granted the amount of work that goes into their creation.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
