• Immensely helpful: Designing Style Guidelines for Brands and Websites.
• Grace of Design*Sponge does a great job of explaining how to handle rude comments on your blog. (link via Anna @ D16).
• Tony Hawk does a 900. Yes, a 900.
• I remember spotting the Médor watch in Vogue 15 years or so ago and thinking it was the coolest watch ever. Garance Doré has great taste.
• Occasionally, I read advice columns. I love Cary Tennis. His advice is totally real, unfiltered and unparalleled. Plus, the titles are always super good. Check out I trusted my gut and got screwed, Why can’t I get a girlfriend? and I hooked up with the bride’s sister after the reception to get warmed up!

What a beautiful image! Can’t wait to check out these links. I’m going after “I trusted my gut and got screwed” first. How awful.
Have a beautiful day, love!

All links are awesome! It’s so nice to have websites to refer to for my Graphic Design classes that are coming up in the fall…Motion Graphics, Design Systems, Electronic PrePress, and Printmaking….whew! It should be fun! I was thinking of studying somewhere else for a semester, either NYC or LA. What do you think? Is there a city that has greater opportunities for GD? I just want to see what’s out there and to have some fun!

looked at that courtney love blog awhile back and was disappointed at the lack of crazy.

Lola: That’s quite a handful of classes! Since I was at a community college, mine were all much more basic and I had to learn a lot of that stuff on the job. Studying in a different place might be cool, but it might also be disruptive since you’d have to settle into somewhere new while doing school work. Though, if you get a great internship opportunity, that would be a great reason to go….

Thanks so much for the post about branding.
Your response this week totally eased my mind with the task of tightening the branding guidelines for the company I work for. You rock as always. I am inspired by your knowledge and eye for design.

Thanks for the link on how to give photos a retro look! I’ve been pretty obsessed with doing that sort of thing to my pictures lately. (As you can see from these entries on my blog: http://hercoffin.net/blog/?p=1306 & http://hercoffin.net/blog/?p=1345) .. I’ve just been tinkering with my pictures on my own, trying to figure out how to make them look vintage-y. I’ve never looked at any kind of tutorials for it before, so thank you for the link!
