After the stress of designing business logos, I finally had the opportunity to create a fun lettering style, thanks to Lou Plummer who writes a blog specifically for app reviews!
The task was straightforward: a website header for his other blog linkage.lol.
I drafted several lettering styles and sent them to him for selection. As much as I love script styles—finding them much more enjoyable to design—he preferred the simple styles with all caps.
My grandmother lived for 94 years, experiencing wars and four reigns of Thailand.
Year after year, our entire family—over a dozen of us—gathered at Grandma's house to share meals during ceremonies, holidays, and birthdays. It was certainly more than a hundred gatherings that she graced us with.
She was always there with us from the moment we entered this world. You could even say that our earliest memories began with her presence.
วิมานหนาม เป็นหนึ่งในหนังไทยที่ Music Score ดีที่สุด เมื่อประกอบการงานภาพแล้วยิ่งช่วยยกระดับการเล่าเรื่องได้ลงตัว เนื้อเรื่องขยี้สภาพสังคมที่ต้องกระเสือกกระสนเพื่อให้ตนนั้นไม่ถูกกดทับด้วยสภาพสังคมชายเป็นใหญ่ แม้ว่าสิ่งที่ตนคิดว่าดีกว่า จนถึงขั้นทิ่มแทงกันแก่งแย่งชิงดีให้ได้มา อาจต้องแลกด้วยเลือดที่หลั่งไหลไม่มีวันหยุดก็ตาม "Paradise of Thorns" music score is absolutely top-notch. The mixture of tense and haunting melodies perfectly complements the beautifully crafted visuals. The storyline really hits home with its critique of societal issues, showing how people are pushed to their limits and forced to compete against each other in a never-ending cycle of struggle. It's a harsh reality that is portrayed through morally ambiguous characters who are all victims of a patriarchal society.
You could never convince me that Blue Lock: Episode Nagi is not a love story! The way they speed through those football games just to focus on the relationship between Nagi and Reo is too obvious. They almost held hands on one shot LOL. Reo's heartbreak at the end just sealed the deal for me and my heart broke alongside Reo. 😭
But honestly, the pacing was all over the place and they barely scratched the surface when it came to character and story development.
Alien: Romulus succeeded in creating tension and atmosphere throughout the movie. While the plot was predictable, it still managed to keep you on the edge of your seat, prompting you to silently urge the characters to “Don’t Breathe” (pun intended, of course).
The third act was exceptionally creepy; however, I believe we were exposed to the scariness for too long, which diminished its effectiveness compared to what the filmmakers intended.
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 logo. The challenge lies in balancing simplicity with the luxurious feel of handmade leather craftsmanship.
Initial Concepts and Inspirations
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!!
Hey everyone! 🌟 Despite this year’s challenges, I’m determined to pursue lettering and design. If you’d like to support me in upgrading to a new iPad, check out the perks for chipping in my tip jar or consider a lettering design commission. Your help means the world to me! 🎨 #birthdaywish
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 flow like the waves, so I used the typeface Aaron had already visualized, made it more fluid, and adjusted the slant to align with the waves.
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 fulfill their lives, thinking they must find the missing piece of their heart to feel truly loved.
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 before, so I used a deep red and brown color scheme.
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 to age with grace? Or only to wake and hide your face? When oblivion is calling out your name You always take it further than I ever can When you play it hard and I try to follow you there It's not about control, but I turn back when I see where you go Are you going to age with grace?
