These are a couple poster ideas I’ve been playing with and working on.  The first set is technical drawing inspired. I’ve always enjoyed technical line drawing of plants even though I’d never be any good drawing them, but they’re fun to design with. The second set is Disney and font inspired. Sometimes half the battle is finding the right font to use and other times you don’t know what you are going to design until you see they type face.

I have thought about making a new etsy store selling only posters. Obviously I would need to make more designs, which means I need to find the time to sit down and come up with more ideas. Inspirations doesn’t always come easy. I wouldn’t know what to call the store, I don’t think I would want to keep Meg’s Charm. Let me know what you guys think!

I made this just for kicks:

Here is a random photo that my dad took while he was at the coast that I edited. He likes to send me photos he has taken that he thinks is good.  I like the composition (it looks the a manta ray) and the green plant.

A while ago in March I took some pictures by my house behind the old Real Fresh plant. Mind you I just got off work at 5:30am from an overnight sift so I was basically taking pictures when I was half asleep. I really should have had a tripod, but it has been m.i.a. since I moved. I was paranoid somebody was going to come along and try to mug me for my camera when I was taking pictures, no such thing happened.

These were the two best that weren’t all fuzzy >.<

I mocked up a few hypothetical Heineken posters.

I’m in love with this simple little design/illustration that’s up to vote on Threadless. It doesn’t help that I feel this way about trying to find a graphic design job >.<

Vote for this design to become a shirt here!

These have been my favorite colors for the past 6+ months. I especially love the blues! The orange is only secondary, and it helps the blue pop!  You can tell that I really dig these colors just by looking at the colors on my blog. I was thinking of making one or two of the wall in my office the middle color blue and then accent it with orange with in the room. It would make the room more attractive and fun.

For color inspiration I go to kuler, thank you graphic design teacher. Its a simple way to get colors together to see what they would look like. They also have users putting together pallets for others to see.  I prefer this website over other color pallettes sites because it gives you a lot of customizing options when others don’t. Its  interesting that the first two highest rated pallettes are quite similar to each other. I wonder what that says about us and what colors we like.

I worked on this wall paper a couple weeks ago, and I’ve had the idea for quite a while. It’s based off the game Minecraft and an item in the game is a cake that you can craft and gives you health.  I pretty much like it the way it is now, but I’ve also played around with idea of instead of the “war” it would be the TNT block from the game.

Feel free to use this as your wallpaper, but please don’t steal it and make it your own.

I found my camera! We moved almost a month ago and everything is still in boxes. When I found it I promptly started taking photos. Above is the view outside my kitchen window. I love the curtains Tim’s mom gave us for this window, it goes with the look of the kitchen. Yep, thats a tether ball out there, you know you’re jealous.

Interwebs meet Dack, Dack meet interwebs. We have a new addition to our family. We couldn’t pass up the chance to take home a kitty as lovable and cute as this one. Named after a Star Wars character (Tim’s choice) its fitting that we call him Dack Attack. He jumps on to our laps any chance he gets and pesters our other cat, Flower non stop. The only thing is that he has a stinky butt, but we still love him just the same.
