The Commission 00005-Strathmere Leather by Aaron Aiken

Once again commissioned by Aaron, I was tasked with designing a logo to serve as a website header for his brand, "Strathmere Leather." This time, the goal was to create a logo that embodies the entire brand identity, moving beyond the product-specific design of the previous Ocean Front …

Love, Simon, 2018 - ★★★★

I didn't feel much for the romantic aspect of this film; however, the speeches from each parent were incredibly powerful. It's something people in the community would have loved to hear from their own parents. I felt it in my soul when she said, "You get to exhale now, Simon." What a great scene!!

Deadpool & Wolverine, 2024 - ★★★★

The most disappointing thing was not having Hugh Jackman sing The Greatest Showman song!

The Commission 00004-Ocean Front Leather Bags by Aaron

Technically, it’s not a commission since I was the one who saw Aaron's post about his latest product line, "Ocean Front," and loved the name so much that I couldn't resist designing a lettering for it. When I saw the words "Ocean Front," the image of waves immediately came to mind. The name should …

The Wallpaper 00002-The Love of My Life is the Love for My LifeThe Wallpaper 00002 - The Love of My Life is the Love for My Life

I've offered this as a free wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and PC. However, donating a little would mean a lot to me as I am saving up for a new iPad as my birthday present this month. In a world where we are often taught to seek validation from others, most people believe they need someone to …

The Commission 00003-Wallpapers for Vincent Ritter

Vincent tried to help me get a new iPad (and you can help too!), so he gave me a tip that made me feel over the moon when I saw the amount. I wanted to show my gratitude with some lettering, but he didn’t give me any brief, so I had to wing it myself! Then, I remembered he mentioned liking red …

My Newfound Appreciation for the Song "Oblivion" by Bastille

The song "Oblivion" by Bastille has always held a special place in my heart since its release. When you fall asleep with your head upon my shoulder When you're in my arms but you've gone somewhere deeper Are you going to age with grace? Are you going to age without mistakes? Are you going …

Twisters, 2024 - ★★★★

This is surprisingly great! Solid casting with enough story to help you understand the characters, but the most impressive part is the visuals.

The Commission 00002-Wallpaper for Melanie Kat

Melanie tried to help me get a new iPad (and you can help too!) by commissioning me to create a lettering design for her name. The brief is simple: Name: Melanie Kat - Chosen Style: Clean - Preferred Colors: 🩵🩷🤍🏳️‍⚧️ - Phone Model: iPhone 15 Pro Max This is the lettering design I came up with: I …

The Wallpaper 00001-Fear Less, Progress, Live More

I've offered this as a free wallpaper for iPhone, iPad, and PC. However, if you could donate a little, it would mean a lot to me as I am saving up for a new iPad as my birthday present this month. I love the word "fearless," but eliminating fear is impossible. Instead, we’d be better …

Uranus 2324, 2024 - ★★★½

"Uranus 2324" is a movie that really caters to fans of a certain on-screen couple, but if you're looking for a strong storyline as a whole, you might be disappointed. The space operations scenes are some of the worst I've ever seen, with no sense of urgency at all. The editing, score, dialogue, and …

Death Is a Collective Grief That Brings Families Together

Grandma is dying; there’s no way around it. She’s already 94 years old, so no one is surprised, and we’ve all been preparing for it in our own ways for a long time. Still, when the doctor said she had less than a month, putting a definite deadline on something we were too scared to think about, it …

My New Super Simple Weekly Planning Setup

So, I tried bullet journaling in 2022 and then evolved into my own system mixing both analog and digital tools. But this year? I fell off the planning wagon hard. Like, barely-planned-a-thing hard. Here are the lessons I learned from my epic planning fail: Too much on my plate: Digital tools let …

The Log 00003-Lessons from Two Months of Daily Lettering

Hi! I’m Ning. If you’ve been following me, you might have come across some, or hopefully all, of my lettering pieces over the past two months. Long story short, I kicked off my lettering journey in April with almost zero knowledge of design and lettering—just a pure love for typography. I assigned …

A Family Affair, 2024 - ★★★½

Family Affair turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me. The characters were all likable; they made me care about each one, even the supporting cast. It’s mostly cute, and while there weren’t many laugh-out-loud scenes—surprising given the premise—I actually prefer it this way. What really stood …

The Pride Month Lettering 00030-Amy from Faking It

One of the most nerve-wracking things in life is falling in love with your best friend. The heartache of unrequited love is tough, but trying to salvage the friendship afterward? That's on a whole other level of difficulty. Yet somehow, Amy managed to do it, even if she hit a few bumps along the …

📧 Just a quick heads up—my iCloud storage was full, and as a result, all the emails I received this month bounced back. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve sorted out the issue now, so if anyone sent me an email recently, could you please resend it? Apologies for the inconvenience; I promise I’ll read it this …

The Pride Month Lettering 00029-Lauren from Faking It

I wouldn't have learned about intersex if I hadn't watched "Faking It." This show features some of the most inclusive LGBTQIA+ characters in the most welcoming environment I've ever seen. It flips the script of high school stereotypes by making the "cool kids" …

The Pride Month Lettering 00028-Sam from Gap and Neung from Blank

If you’re into Girl’s Love stories, definitely give the Thai dramas “Gap” and “Blank” a watch. These two shows are set in the same universe, and the main characters are sisters. Their names—Neung, Song, and Sam—literally mean 1, 2, 3 in Thai. What a lazy way to name your kids. 😂 These dramas tackle …
