craftsman brewery

Here is the blog debut of some of my design work! For this project I created a company, 

Craftsman Brewery, and branded it from top to bottom. The design aesthetic is based on the arts and crafts movement of the early 1900s. I really enjoyed this project (especially the letterpress coasters!) 

and I'm super happy with how it turned out!

I like beer as much as the next gal, but what I really like is awesome beer labels! Recently, I borrowed and scanned a huge collection vintage beer labels from the 60s and 70s. These are some of my faves, which I used for inspiration for my own brewery branding project. I'll post the rest in the coming months, including the super-classy Play Mate Beer.

Typeplace

There is a sweet new app that lets type nerds share found lettering and typography all over any given city.
It's only $.99 but reviews suggest it needs more work before it can be super awesome.
