Designers are often quick to jump over to Illustrator or Photoshop if they want to create more unique and contemporary text effects. However, with a little know-how, you can create cutting-edge, creative text effects and typography designs without ever having to leave InDesign.

Dive!

Emmeline Illustration

It's Summer! Yes! I've been really getting back into my illustration work for pleasure after tying up the last loose ends from 'The Lavender Blue Dress' book project (which was a long and brilliant commission!). Spending Summer by the sea has definitely been inspiring, and having a week off can really help reset the ol' creativity. I wanted to have fun creating a simple illustration, and to really focus on movement - and with the hot, humid weather we've been having lately an illustration of a c

'Good Evening M'lady'

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

Good Evening M'lady Watercolour / Gouache 24 x 31cm I had lots of fun bringing my rag and bone badger and lamplighter weasel characters together for this painting. There is no doubt that I have benefited re-using two characters in a new painting, the turn around was slightly quicker than normal because most of the colour decisions had already been made in previous paintings and the overall atmosphere is lifted straight from 'Rag & Bone'.

Football as Football

Fonts by Hoefler&Co.

As the World Cup winds down, many Americans will turn from the excitement and agony of football to another beloved pastime: football. American football, to be precise. This year, six Minneapolis co-workers have combined these obsessions with their love of design into a single experience called Football as Football , which reimagines the logos of American football teams in the heraldic language of the great European football clubs.

Why I’m so negative about positivity

Paul Jarvis

I want to explain why I'm so negative about positivity, but first, try not to think about a white bear for one minute. Tough, right? Since I mentioned the white bear and then said not to think about.

Couture Shopping List Part 5 - On to Italy!

Fifi Lapin

Wowa! Dolce & Gabbana have outdone themselves this time with the most beautiful, magical and fun presentation I have ever had the pleasure of attending. Teetering on the very edge of the Mediterranean sea in a secret cove gown after beautiful gown alighted from pretty little boats and drifted past an adoring crowd of deckchair ensconced sightseers.

Good Evening M'lady WIP

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

I'm currently working on this painting called 'Good Evening M'lady'. A couple of likely lads trying their best to catch the flower seller's eye. Is she stifling a smile? You may recognise the weasel from this and the badger from 'Rag And Bone' below: He could do with a bath. I down tools tomorrow because I'm shooting to London to get some much needed reference photos and to meet up with an old friend who really needs to update his twitter.

New from H&Co: Tungsten Rounded

Fonts by Hoefler&Co.

There’s a wonderful materiality about rounded letters. Their lighter weights have an engineered quality: for me, they always bring to mind the controlled movements of a router, steadily cutting channels in brass or steel and leaving behind a spray of metal shavings. Their heavier weights are the stuff of the roadside, both the vacuform plastic letters that advertise gas stations and motels, and the painted signs that herald this week’s prices for groceries or liquor.

Thank You!

Fonts by Hoefler&Co.

One of the great joys of designing typefaces is seeing them in the wild, and discovering what new voices people have coaxed out of your work. A year ago today, we launched Cloud.typography, and had no idea that we’d be presented with these delights so deeply, so rapidly, and so often: for twelve months, we’ve watched designers sign up for the service one day, build things the next, and deploy their sites the following morning.
