🎉 Midweek Mix
Thursdays can be tough for us creatives…
I know they are for me.
You’ve poured your heart into your craft all week,
And now you’re being asked to produce more magic in less time.
I get it…
That’s why I started The Creative Mix. I want to offer you those sparks of inspiration when you need it most.
But I need your help to make this even better for you!
What resources would make your life easier?
What types of projects are giving you trouble?
What topics would you love to see more of?
What’s one creative goal you’re working towards?
And here’s a piece on type inspired me this week… I think you’ll enjoy it:
“Pairing typefaces feels like a unique song where each instrument plays a role to create a nuanced tone. A colder typeface can be warmed up by a monospace or serif, a bold and expressive typeface can be paired with a more pragmatic and technical sans to express the other side of the brand as well. I try to make sure they all play choreographed and specific roles, and then it becomes quite fun to create compatible partners—a typographic team of sorts.”
Keep pushing forward… you’ve got this! Look forward to hearing from you!
