My brother-in-law called my attention to The Pinup Blog. Jaime Caudill has written a blog post I can relate to. I particularly enjoy this quote by Mark Twain: “While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.” It certainly put a smile on this redhead's face. Thanks Eric!

I designed this flyer for the event in March. Visit www.zachsowers.com to find out more about this great event! Thanks Anna for the shout out!

Music is exciting once again in 2008. I didn't get to attend as many live shows as I'd like, but did discover many new artists and sounds. I'm especially excited to be part of a band myself this year called Siberiana and to be a small part of the exciting things that are happening in […]

My amazing husband, Mark Ludwig, created this for me: (sorry for the picture quality-it was early! and I couldn't use a flash due to the finish) Mark was kind enough to write out his process: December 19 1. First, I enlarged the CurlyRed Logo to approx. 2' x 3' in Photoshop. Because the image was […]

My friend, Jessica Watson from Happy Hour Studio posed the following question after viewing my last post: If your company had to design a poster to promote voting, how would you go about it? I happen to love poster design, mostly because of my love of color and bold graphics. Posters tend to be more […]

With less than a month to go, election design is all around us. Recently, AIGA had a contest called "Get Out the Vote 2008" where designers submitted designs for posters encouraging Americans to vote. Above are some of my favorite winning posters. As far as the candidates go, the McCain/Palin ticket seem to be relying […]
