MORE FRIENDS OF TYPE

More type from one of my favorite blogs, Friends of Type.

SUMMER WISH

With the days absolutely short (was dark by 4pm this afternoon) one can't help but ache for the summer garden. Here are some photos to help along your imagination. To me, these photographs all seem to convey summer afternoon, when 4pm can be the best, most languid time of the day.


Top two photos from Arabella Lennox Boyd's website, bottom two from that of Miranda Brooks. Both women are British landscape designers. Who does the lush, romantic, enchanted garden best but the British? Time to make some money and buy that country cottage. Don't forget the swimming pool.

A HAPPY TYPE

I love the blog Friends of Type. They seem to be especially into upbeat, hand-drawn or unique script and display faces, all of which they've made themselves. 

EVERYONE LOVES A LITTLE LUBALIN

Not that Lubalin ever fell off, but his 70s style is definitely in rotation again. Check out this online HERB LUBALIN GALLERY.

Thanks, Mr. Wittgenstein

BROOK SCHNEIDER

More lovely photos today, this time from Brook Schneider.

LEANNE LIANG

A painter in San Francisco, Leanne Liang also takes great photographs. Thanks Leanne!

BUMMER

 
Feeling inspired by a recent trip to the Hayward Gallery's Ed Ruscha exhibition, I've made a few of my own out of photos taken from a trip to the Philippines earlier this year. Feeling a little down after a bout with the flu I suppose -- tomorrow is another day.

WEDNESDAY

A still from the film A Woman of Affairs (1928). Found on the blog Cinema Style.
