I figure I might as well give a preview of the upcoming look for… well, everything coming in the next month (website, portfolio, new blog). I’m particularly pleased with that little logo, as it uses the “B” and “L” without being obnoxious and wide. Also before you say anything… Yes I know, it’s a logo. Pretentious, self-important, and not that helpful… indulge me on this one, okay? I’m trying to make something here!

It seems all I do is long form writing and learning web design these days, but it’s a nice change. When the new blog debuts, I’ll have some solid pieces of writing I’m proud of as well as a new look and feel that I’m really happy with.
I’m falling in love again with texture, noise, and old signage. I’m going all-in with highlighting my love for the vintage in our modern day (See: Mad Men, Field Notes, and my Jazz & Blues collection to name a few).

Took me long enough right? Ha, and by day 2 I’ll probably hate it… that’s how it is I guess. Anyways, the pdf portfolio will be following the website’s lead. After 5 years of making pdf portfolios and feeling that they never quite do the work justice, I’m excited to use the web to share deeper aspects of my design work. The web portfolio is what matters to me, so it comes first.

Well, more to come later… see you then.
