it's beer o'clock

As promised, more vintage beer labels. What time is it? 

It's time to enjoy some premium beer with the zing of malt liquor.

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.
