Two talents I am smitten with (and wish I had) are type design and music. Phil plays lots of instruments, and I have attempted many of them. They hang on our wall looking really sharp, but the most I've mastered is a tambourine and a fierce enthusiasm for sing alongs. Hand drawn type is something I find beautiful and perplexing and in a way, similarly magical to music, when other people are good at it... because I tend to appreciate it from afar and keep too safely ashore sometimes.
Always meant to work harder at both. But there's still time for both, and luckily, I can easily enjoy both without having to actually be good at either!
Just came across "Friends of Type" yesterday and got really excited. Friends of type is a site that features custom designed type from different designers all over the place - I believe they invite new people to post every time, and sometimes design just for the sake of putting on this site? Basically, it's a complete eye candy blog. I showed it to a design friend, who said simply "i know." so maybe you already know too... but either way, can we all just rejoice together that this blog exists? Thanks.
