I’m working on art and layout for Coffin Bell TWO, an anthology of dark literature. My friend and CB EIC Tamara asked if I could put together a book trailer. I had no idea how or what to do, so I said, “Let me try!” Behold! I actually really like how it turned out. It’s a love letter to art, writing, books, strangeness, and the vehicle that can pull all of those things together: graphic…
This time last year, I was feverishly developing plans for my upcoming July wedding. And not, like, elaborate plans, but things like “how many star outlines of different sizes can I effectively fit onto this many pieces of glittery cardstock?” I designed and crafted my ass off and had a ton of fun doing it (depite my complaints of sore scissor hands at the time). You can read about those efforts here, as I have…
I am so excited to see the finished product! Betsy crafted this incredible story and was kind enough to ask me to do the book’s layout. I adore her writing so I was happy to do whatever I could to be involved. Check out this mini documentary on the project as a whole. COMING 2015: The Wolf’s Bane from Emily Beard on Vimeo. I am super proud to be a part of this project and…
Here’s a little something I put together for the 12th and Broad crew’s inaugural magazine. It’s the subscription card — the lone one! so there aren’t a hundred of them falling out and annoying you! — that’s inserted into the magazine.
I’ve gotten really bad at keeping a running visual tally of the things I design at work, so here’s a dump from the past few months! What you see here are some pages, some centerpieces. CP for Montgomery Advertiser CP for Montgomery Advertiser CP for Montgomery Advertiser
So, wonks and pedants, literalists and newshounds, hear my plea. Give your readers some moments of delight every now and again. And take some time to enjoy that delight yourself. I promise it will not kill you.
The president visited Chattanooga the other day. Big story. Big, big story. My pal Nick designed the TFP’s front page for the event. Big page. Big, big page. And yet this is how the paper looked when it hit driveways. WHY? WHYYYY?
I freaking love being a designer. I have to step back and remember that sometimes. Love it.
Over the years I have always wondered, when a blogger I followed made a last-minute “I’m leaving the city!” announcement, why he or she waited so long to announce it on the blog, and why there was usually a lack of contemplative “what does it mean for my life that I’m moving?” kinds of posts in the run-up to the departure. And now I know that it’s because when you decide to rip your life…
Last week I applied for and secured a booth at Cooper-Young Festival, where I hope to sell photo prints (framed and un-) and stationery, as well as take orders for custom designs should people be interested in that sort of thing. I’ve also got some other artsy crapola knocking around in my head that I hope to be able to hammer out between now and then. I’ve never done a festival before so trying to…
