Here is my first post for the new design blog.<br/><br/>The design above combines hand drawn typography with sophomoric humor and an emoticon, YAY!<br/><br/>The "<span style="color:red">3&lt;</span>" is a fart and the design is a take on "I <span style="color:red">♥</span>" whatever. My friend, Jenn, far as I know created the emoticon....so blame her.<br/><br/>I like drawing my own typography. I think it can add more life to a design than a font, not that all fonts are bad or lifeless. One of my favorite illustrators is <a href="http://www.n8w.com/newweb/index.php">Nate Williams</a>. He combines I wonderful illustration style with some of the best examples of hand drawn lettering in the business. He is able to add an organic dimension to <a href="http://www.n8w.com/wp/1591">ads</a> that may other wise be drab.<br/><br/>Get out there and create!<br/><br/>-TG<div><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9061359754187644839-6834730610880342792?l=trophiogrande.blogspot.com" alt=""></div><p><iframe src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~ah/f/k5u540djp6imnttsgnpmaoid6s/468/60#http%3A%2F%2Ftrophiogrande.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F10%2Fhi-here-is-my-first-design-for-design.html" width="100%" height="60" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TrophiograndeInternational/~4/GqjOloDgNuc" height="1" width="1"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6280606987674266142-5382745605335743370?l=trophiogrande.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6280606987674266142.post-9124368052549712692009-01-15T20:51:00.000-08:002011-01-11T07:01:32.787-08:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/trophiogrande/3200647090/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3121/3200647090_ed44ee634b_m.jpg" alt="" style="border:solid 2px #000000"></a><br /><span style="font-size:0.9em;margin-top:0px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/trophiogrande/3200647090/">2009 Eustace Tilley Contest</a> <br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/trophiogrande/">Blake C.
