Hi Nubby,

I enjoy reading your site because it inspires me and allows me to learn more about type and design as a whole.

I am currently working on my own .com site and am stuck on what font to use for my name that will appear on my website. Any suggestions?

My name will appear as “Lynette Kang”. Thanks!

This isn’t a question, bt moreso a book reccomendation.

have you seen Simon Garfield’s book, “Just My Type” about fonts? Its incredible, and I think you’d appreciate it.

Hello Nubby! I’m a High School Senior with a huge interest in pursuing Graphic Design when I go to college (Hopefully SCAD) I hope this question is not redundant but I was hoping you could tell me why you chose to delve into web communications (I’m only using terminology that I know, sorry if it’s inaccurate) as opposed to other fields that fall under graphic design; like animation for example. On a random note, your blog is divine!

Quick questions… I just created my new blog and I’m currently thinking about ways to make money off of it through AdSense ads and other programs. That got me to thinking, “Hm, I wonder if Nubby has ads?” and what do you know, you have only 1 single ad! So, how come you don’t throw a google ad up to make a bit more money? Or, are you too much of a Virgo for all that clutter on the page? Do you feel as though it would lower you credibility as a graphic designer? What are your thoughts on using ads for personal blogs (like mine)? Thanks!!! I look forward to your answer!

What are your favorite fonts / typefaces? I notice you use pretty unique type, do you create your own custom fonts for your designs?

Hi Nubby!

I was wondering if you could explain why you are so drawn to the red cross symbol. What’s the significance?

Hi Nubby,

I’m looking into graphic design school but some take 2+more years while others take 1. For obvious reasons I’d rather do for the 1 year because I am graduating with a BA soon. Any advice? Thanks!

Hi there! I’ve always wondered if you wear high heels (almost) everyday. Do you? Have you experienced any kind of problem regarding your tendons, for example? I know it’s a weird question, but I’ve been dying to ask for about 2 years now, haha.

Hi!!,
I have a many questions and would love to pick your brain but I’ll go with this one for now: Been super inspired by the My Cross To Bear series and your journey through the making of them. My question is, what’s your making art/collage process??

Gratzi!! :0)
