Remnants of May
I’m definitely going to miss summer, especially having not to worry much about other things except what to do on bum days, trying out new ideas for painting and typography, organizing my travel journal, spending dinners out with friends, and typing away all my plans and ideas for this blog (which is on a real makeover this week, updates soon!).
I’ve been seeing Lauren Hom’s works all over Tumblr and it’s just now that I stumbled upon Behance that I further fell in love with her handwritten typography. There’s just something so fresh about the way she does lettering and the color schemes she uses are really appealing to the eyes.
She’s an Art Director/Illustrator and does campaigns (in other words she is living my dream!) and works in NYC. Oh, and she graduated from the School of Visual Arts (better known as one of my dream schools).
After watching The Great Gatsby last night (and further appreciating my already ongoing love affair with its branding and typography design - and production design, I might add), I came across the work process and design aesthetic output of the film which was done by Like Minded Studios, a design studio based in Sydney, Australia.
The designers did an amazing job of capturing the essence of what the film (and book) encapsulated and honestly, all the proposed logos were all wonderfully designed that any of them can be utilized - but the best would be the one that was released for the film’s collaterals.

Artspiration is going to be a feature on inspiring artworks by artists in different fields (particularly Illustration, Typography, Packaging, Advertising, Photography, Design etc.) that I’ll be sharing in this blog on a regular basis. (The first of many!)
To be honest, I don’t have quite a lot of people I look up to nor do I have a set of inspiring artists I follow. Now that I created a Behance account (which is still dead, by the way) and I’m currently in the process of exploring more in the creative field, I figured this would be a good way to feed my mind (and yours too) with all things eyegasmic and bookmark-worthy.
Have a great week ahead!
