2012 for bella figura

i have a couple new invitation designs over at bella figura.

this one, which i particularly love:

and this one.

thoroughly enjoyed drawing all the triangles.  i’ve never really liked triangles – i’m more the blue circle type – but have been recently embracing design elements i usually avoid — only to discover that i actually like triangles very much.  (and burnt orange for that matter, which didn’t make it into this design but has been popping up in other things i’m working on.  go figure.)

 

 

how to stand on the shoulders of giants

jessica hische put up a great post recently on what it means to be inspired by (as opposed to knocking-off) our artist heros.

applause for hische who is always giving back to the design community by saying wonderful things.
