The Work This is my lettering piece inspired by the song "Man In The Mirror", with the image from Cottonbro Studio. The Inspiration Despite our different music tastes, my family and I can always agree on one artist—Michael Jackson. One of my most cherished memories is singing his music in the car together. "Man in The Mirror" is a personal favorite of mine. Its message of taking charge of our lives and actions resonates with me.
The Work My lettering design for the song "Come Alive." My lettering design for the song "Come Alive." The Inspiration The Greatest Showman is one of the best cinematic experiences for me. The film's energy made me pumped and ready to conquer the world. Although I wanted to sing "From Now On" at the top of my lungs on the way home, I didn't want to seem like an even bigger weirdo.
The Work This is the lettering piece based on the song Grow As We Go by Ben Platt The lettering piece based on the song Grow As We Go by Ben Platt The Inspiration Combining Ben Platt’s divine voice with the wonderful lyrics, and you get one of the most beautiful songs ever. I appreciate the message of "Grow As We Go". You don’t have to grow alone; you should allow people to grow together with you so that you can have each other’s backs.
The Work The draft of my lettering design for Visiting Hours by Ed Sheeran The Inspiration I have been a fan of Ed Sheeran since his first album. While his recent music may not resonate with me as much personally, I still enjoy listening to his songs on repeat. However, I must say that "Visiting Hours" is his masterpiece. It is incredibly emotional and powerful; I could feel his emotions in every moment of the song.
The Work My Lettering Design for Drive It Like You Stole It by Sing Street Movie The Inspiration The movie “Sing Street” is a delightful mix of coming of age, music, rock band passion, romance, and friendship—truly a gem. But the best part of this movie is the soundtrack!! I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it yet. The song "To Find You" from its soundtrack album stole my heart.
The Work The Inspiration After listening to her album "Folklore", I recently became a Taylor Swift fan, realizing her charm and the lyrical genius she is. I now totally get why she's so famous. It took me a while to realize how great she is, but it's better late than never. Among all her songs, the song "All Too Well" stands out as a true masterpiece. Its lyrics and imagery beautifully captured the essence of a complicated relationship.
The Work This is the lettering design inspired by the song "You're Not The One" The Inspiration Chester See's music hits differently with those emotional vocals in his songs. "You're Not The One" had me in tears the first time I heard it, and it's still on my mind to this day. It's just such a heartbreaking song about letting go of someone who can't see you as their person, no matter how hard you try to make them see it.
💻 Been busy with life. Finally found the time to post all my past daily lettering designs. I will catch up on emails and replies tomorrow. ✌️#lettering
The Work My design inspired by Best Fake Smile by James Bay The Inspiration I've always been a fan of James Bay's music. His songs hit home for me. There's just such a variety in his music and one that stood out to me for my lettering design is the song "Best Fake Smile". The message in that song is great, you can pretend everything's cool but deep down it's eating you away.
The Work The Inspiration Inspired by John Legend's song "Everybody Knows," I created this lettering design. I had a phase where I only exclusively listened to John Legend's music for months. His voice was very soothing and comforting to me. This song holds a special place in my heart as it talks about how people act like they have all the answers, but in reality, who knows what would actually happen if things changed?
The Work My design inspired by In A Song by Hunter Hayes The Inspiration Today's design is inspired by Hunter Hayes's song "In A Song". This song is featured in my playlist "These Songs Saved My Life" because it genuinely saved me during a tough time. Listening to it gave me the sense of hope to keep going despite the pain and emotions I was feeling. You sometimes wish you could change the past, but in reality, doing so would only mess things up further.
The Work The Inspiration While I Still Got The Time by Darius Rucker is the song I listen to on my birthdays, to remind myself how to live a life to the fullest, not a life filled with regrets. No more excuses and no more me doing things wrong Life is too short baby; I have wasted ours for too long And baby from now on I am going to work like I do not need the money
The Work The design inspired by Never Forget You by Lupe Fiasco The Inspiration This design was inspired by the rhymes in “Never Forget You” by Lupe Fiasco. These lines don't capture the essence of the song, but I absolutely love them. The wordplay in these lines is so beautifully written and emphasizes the importance of moving forward while cherishing our milestones and achievements. It perfectly sums up how we should live our lives—celebrating our achievements, staying focused on doing our best, always aiming to improve, and continuing to move forward towards our goals.
The Work The Inspiration Throughout my life, I have been shy and socially awkward. One thing that always boosts me up is listening to "Self Esteem" by Nelly. It's been a staple in my playlist since I first stumbled upon it, to hype me up and boost my confidence. You see my self-esteem, I'm never leavin' home without it They told me I'd never make it, they told me I ain't doubt it
The Finished Project The funky version of my design for Brandon's Journal. I never thought my first commission would come this fast. Just roughly two weeks into my lettering journey! Well, technically, I did a lettering for an album cover years ago. But that was for my close friend, so I don't think that counts. 😄 I had planned to build up my portfolio before taking on commissions, but my first one came quicker than expected.
The Work My design inspired by What If I Never Get Over You By Lady A The Inspiration Sometimes what truly haunts you is not the past love, but the not knowing if your next love will ever come when you still hang up on the memories you once had with that person. I liked that sentiment from the song "What If I Never Get Over You" by Lady A.
💻 Is it a bad idea to buy a new iPad solely to get the new Apple Pencil Pro? Can anyone talk my way out of this? 😂
💻There’s nothing wrong with iPads; the issue lies in people being unaware of apps tailored for iPads and how to incorporate them into their workflows. To make things worse, Apple’s emphasis on highly specific use cases further widens the gap between general users and iPads. I hope the upcoming WWDC will shade some light on the iPad’s experience much better, but I highly doubt it.
The Work When you look at the design from afar, you’d see the “Hurt” first, but once you look more closely, the “Love” will be the center of attention with a much more prominent color. This is to show that love is always the point in relationships, despite all the challenges that come with it. The Inspiration There are a lot of great lyrics from OneRepublic, especially from their early albums.
