CB2 really wins out for this post. By the way CB2.com has most of the objects of my desire recently. I have a new found crush on the company.. it’s kind of Ikea-esque but just a pinch nicer (and the prices reflect the quality). Also included is a great Etsy item. Read below for some really fun decorative pieces.
I am so excited I found so many cool items for this edition. Included in this post are some really great pieces with innovative typographic design. I’ve given my two cents on each one and I definitely have my favorites. Let me know what you think!
Since I’m an interior designer by day and a typography lover by night, I inherently like things you can buy for your home. I’m always looking for the fun, quirky, and stylish functional or decorative items that incorporate great design. Introducing Buy*, a place to see new items for your home (or yourself… I will include fashion pieces as well as I come across them). At the Buy* section part of my blog I’ll include BuyType for cool things that feature typography, BuyGraphic for really sweet goodies with awesome graphics (you’ll probably see a lot of abstracted large graphics which I love), and BuyEtc for those extra crazy and fun things that I couldn’t resist even though they’re not 100% about type or graphics.
Look for updates each week for new stuff to Buy* !
Here’s an interesting thing I just learned: There is an important difference between the word/phrase “typeface” and “font face.” Many everyday people talk about “Arial” and “New Times Roman” as fonts. However, as graphic designers and typographers new and experienced, we should recognize this as a misnomer.
Let’s face it, we all (should) hate Comic Sans. A lot of people view it as ugly, childish, unprofessional. Many designers get a good chuckle when a non-designer sees Comic Sans as their “go-to” typeface. However, is it possible that even Comic Sans has its place?
Thanks to my loving husband Nate, typelyte.com is up and running!
I’m amazed at how much went into this change and am very excited to start reading and learning. I started to read Detail in Typography and started taking notes, so look for new posts soon.

So in reading the article: The Science of White Space in Design by Inspired Magazine, it got me thinking about the usage of white space and the generational gap that may influence how clients see designs. Could it be possible that minimalistic designs appeal to a younger generation only?
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I suppose I should tell you a little bit about the twisted path of how I wound up here.
