While perusing the day’s status updates on Facebook, I came across a video parody of not only one of my favorite singers, but of one of my favorite typefaces. You can imagine my excitement in finding that someone somehow had managed to creatively combine the two.

Handwritten type is one of those awesome design elements that I find myself always wanting to find a way to implement into a project. It’s really a powerful tool, because it can eliminate the need for photography and illustration all together.

A couple weeks ago my friend, Yoshi, came back from Japan to visit. He and I attended MassArt together, both majoring in Graphic Design. And other than making him say all the swears he could think of in Japanese, I was really interested in the stuff he was designing in Japan.
