Make sure you have coffee for this one.
She bared her soul, y’all, and she’s doing it for the world to read. How did I feel when my best friend since we were 8 years old told me she’d had an emotional affair? Surprised? Of course. She’s never in our whole lives been one to break the rules. In fact, I’ll admit that when…

Tomorrow is big, you guys
I’ve been too quiet here lately, but it’s for a good reason. I’ve been helping Amy publish her very first book. It’s amazing how much time and effort goes into creating a book if you want to do it right. There are multiple drafts. There is line editing. There is book cover photography and design. Font…

In case you missed it …
Just in case you missed our blog post over at Melissa Oyler Designs yesterday, I wanted to tell you here that one of my closest friends has written a book. She previewed her cover art (which I had the pleasure of designing) and announced her book yesterday on her own blog, so check it out…

Coffee. Feet warmers. Creativity.
What I love about working from home: – I don’t have to wear shoes at the office. Hell, I can wear my pajamas all day if I want to. – If I feel creative at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, well, then that’s when I do my work. – Speaking of work, it’s different…

Drugs, sex, politics and laughter – all in a day’s work
Ray and Jennifer had their first date on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, they happened to both be checking their mail slots at work at the same time. The mail boxes were located behind Barbara’s desk. Jennifer grabbed her mail, walked away, and after she left, Barbara turned to Ray and said, “So, how long have you two…

He’s funny, he’s musical, and he’s entertaining
Haven’t showed you much graphic design lately, so today I’ll show you a logo I designed for Anil while I was visiting Phoenix. He is a DJ and a comedian, and he is certainly very entertaining! Which one do you think he chose?

Coming soon: A little ladybug
She wants to approve all baby bump photos before they get uploaded to Facebook, so I’m going to be careful about the ones I use here since she hasn’t told me which ones she likes yet. But I’m so excited about the first photos I’ve been able to take of my unborn niece, that I…

So famous, I even have my own makeup artist
Call off the paparazzi? Not quite. But friends and I have gotten mention on a couple of Web sites as of late. Fifteen minutes of fame take 1 Firstly, I wrote this post and Jeff wrote this post on our business blog about Adobe CS5and CreativeLIVE, and during the Q&A session, the instructors mentioned the post! If you…

Why I almost didn’t eat at your restaurant
So there’s this place that recently opened up near my house in Blakeney Crossing. I have driven by it many times, and I saw a sign on the side of the building reading “Express Cafe.” Anything with the word cafe in it typically gets my attention, as I love coffee and I am always willing…

Animals can talk and other future memories
When I was a child, my aunt Josie had a book made that featured myself and my cousin David. I thought it was so cool, reading about our day of chasing foxes or whatever we were doing in the adventure. A few months ago I thought of that book and then found myself thinking –…

Why don’t you look in the mirror, buddy?
I want to change the subject from all of this marathon talk, for those of you who are sick of hearing me go on and on about it … And today I’ll segway from what I’ve been saying this week – if you believe in yourself, you can do anything – and into a client…

‘You’re every line, you’re every word …’
As if designing a wedding album isn’t enough fun, I got to design one for one of my closest childhood friends not too long ago. Jenny and Gary got married in May 2008 and I got to be a huge part of it by creating their graphics – wedding programs, favor books, and their wedding…

Sit-ups, 8es dancing, writing novels and ad design
A hodgepodge of thoughts today: ———— I’ll share a couple of sites I came across this week (mostly through social networking!): D&AD Creative Search: I saw this one mentioned by several people on Twitter this week. Go ahead, type something in. I typed “flowers” and then I typed “Melissa Oyler” … it’s fun! One hundred…

modern. original. design.
Had the opportunity to update the ad for Melissa Oyler Designs for the September edition of Natural Awakenings Magazine (which I also do layout/design for). Check it out – what do you think?

Ingredients for the perfect birth announcements: An adorable baby, modern, hip parents, and a great photographer. Check out the announcements I designed for my new nephew – the blanket he is sleeping on is his dad’s baby blanket – how cute is that?

No, it’s not because I am a vampire (though I do have pale skin).
When I graduated college the job market was in a much better place than it is now. I went on 5 job interviews and got 5 job offers. They all were really great offers in their own right but the one job I really wanted, and landed, was a page designer/copy editor job at the daily…

I may suck at writing poetry lately …
But my friends at poetry assignment are rockin it! Please remember to check out their work and give them some comment love. In the meantime and to try to get back into the spirit of things, I have been designing a poetry book of my work, hoping that looking at it will bring back my…
