June 2012 Tips and Tricks - Using Text as a Shape

[Gare]

@Bill—Now that's a lot of fun, man.

A word about the photo, which Barbara took. We had an armory downtown, I think a lot of cities have such an area, mostly in disrepair. But here in Syracuse, some rent and renovations deals turned the place into an artist's haven. Fancy restaurants, an iMax theater, and the tenants paid careful attention to preserve the architecture. So that might be why you're getting nostalgic vibes, Bill.

I swear, if I ever had to fake a brief scene in a movie of the Upper West Side in Manhattan, I'd do it in Armory Square. I was a Manhattanite for 17 years; trust me, I know the architecture and the two are very, very similar.

@Frances—Nice! Very ambitious, but worth it, no?

Okay, here's another blank 'un. A supermarket chain? A moving van? You decide! Put your design skills to work and the tips I passed along with the logo tutorial in May.



My Best,
