Twitter’s updated their fonts #ux #ui

Just noticed Twitter has updated some of their fonts on iOS 7. The new font only seems to show on individual tweets and not across the entire app. It’s interesting that while the single tweet font is updated, any replies to the tweet still show the original font. I like the cleaner, larger and thin-line font – here’s to hoping they’ll carry it to the rest of the ap.

Wall of inspiration

20131028-111617.jpg

I always feel like you need a place of creative inspiration. Whether it’s a notebook full of clippings, an Evernote folder or a wall full if some of your favorite things.

I have several digital collections as well as a physical wall in my cube farm (wishing I had more space on it).

What about you? What inspires you and how do you show it.

Progressive Illustrating

I don’t typically do a lot of illustrating – especially in Illustrator – but I’m always intrigued by the process. So I thought I’d share my process tonight. Starting with some basic sketches on my iPad (above).

Then converting one of the characters to Illustrator with custom brushes and coloring it in.

And then adding a few additional touches and text for a web banner.

I’m not 100% sold on the final web banner – but we’ll see.

Maybe more like this?
