Valentines

So apparently it's valentines day. I wouldn't have known (aside from reading things on the internet) if Ellinor hadn't given me this lovely card. Hehe.

Yes, I do love bubble wrap.

EDIT: Also, browsing my blog feed, this is quite cute.

Chy Morva

That's the name of my new house. Or at least the house I'll be living in come July/August, as we signed our contracts this evening. And that's the only thing I've actually done today.

After a very good house party, including a brief trip into town and back again, for Lee's birthday last night, I wasn't up to much today. Didn't leave Leeannajames' house 'til 4am.

But YAY HOUSE!
This will be us:

(Joel, Ellinor and I)

Of course, we already look like this. But we will be in our own house.

Egyptian

A news story I am vaguely aware of for once. And a typographic pun.

ie. the font style is Egyptian.

Ellinor posted this on Facebook last night, I just watched it now and it has already brightened my morning – not that my morning was very un-bright.

Yes!

Don't be spineless

I read an interesting article on the Creative Review blog last night, regarding book spines. The spine is, more often than not, the part of the book that you see on a shelf. It has to grab you in some way to take the book in your hands and look at the cover and the blurb
on the back.

"The point is that while book design is largely celebrated in terms of what front covers and jackets look like, the spine can be an oft-neglected dead zone. And this is crazy, because in a bookshop it's what customers are presented with in their hundreds, aside from those copies fortunate enough to be displayed facing outwards, of course. Perhaps the rise of browsing online has removed the need to treat the spine as a significant part of the design? In any case, it's the reader who has to put up with any potential design horrors once it's up on the bookshelf."
