So long, farewell?

Does anyone get tired of using Lorem Ipsum as placement text? I'm not necessarily tired of it, I just glaze over the letters and words at this point. I used to wonder what it all meant, but now, I just copy/paste/copy/paste.

This designer got tired of it and decided to create a cure. He decided he had enough of all that Latin mumbo-jumbo and created this website. He even allows you to select how many paragraphs you'd like, how it would look as a < p >, < h1 >, < li >, or text.

Check it out and use if you start getting bored of Lorem Ipsum and say Hello to Fillerati.

Tis the season...

I know, Christmas on the mind already? You know it! I generally start to incorporate Christmas music into my everyday listening around the end of August. Yeah, I'm crazy. Hahaha!

But I also start thinking about what gifts to get people, Holiday parties, snow, cozy fireplaces...I love winter.

I always have a harder time trying to figure out what to get designer friends since it has to be aesthetically pleasing, obviously! But I think I found a few things on-line that any of them would really like.

Of course you'd want something practical, functional, and like I said, nice to look at. What designer doesn't like Pantone? Make a statement with a splash of color!

And who doesn't want to settle in for a movie night at home occasionally? The most popular Sans Serif and the most recent, Art&Copy.

I'm sure they'll be a hit this Christmas!

Colors and Bubbles!

Who doesn't love bubbles? I remember when I was a kid, one of my cousins had this huge birthday party and there were these huge bubble wands. The bubbles were as big as me, seriously! Everyone tries to make rings or other shapes out of bubbles. Someone created LETTERS. Ok, so it's not really the bubbles you first imagined, but still....I wouldn't mind having one of these!

Everyone's heard of numerology [based on your date of birth]. But have you heard of COLORstrology? It's pretty interesting; your birth color and favorite color may or may not be one in the same [it's not for me], but I must say, my color describes me pretty accurately. Of course, this is sponsored by the wonderful, almighty Pantone.

Game Night!

So by now, everyone pretty much knows that I love anything to do with typography. I get teased endlessly about it, but I don't care.

Look what I came across today! It made me so excited and I broke out in a huge smile, yes, you can laugh at me, I don't care.

I don't like change

Ok, that's not entirely true. I don't mind change, I just have a hard time adjusting to change; it takes me awhile to get used to, I'm a creature of habit, I can't help it.

The Oatmeal has some pretty funny stuff that's not just for designers but today's funny is definitely about designers and sometimes how I feel about change to my designs. Hahhaa, enjoy a good laugh - well, I did anyway.

Avoid!

So Designers, do you agree?
