Katrina — Mon, 20 May 2013 22:30:11 +0000

Sister Magazine, Issue No. 7 is out! It’s the Italian issue and the pictures of Florence are heart-wrenchingly lovely — they make me think of A Room With a View. Besides the lovely travel, fashion, and food photography, the layouts caught my attention. I’m especially fond of the forms and draftsman-like labels used on many [...] ]]>

I wish I could draw. A few years ago I signed up for an illustration course at Skyline College in San Bruno. As with most of my new endeavors, I was really enthusiastic. I had high hopes and high expectations, and my first drawings were pretty decent for a beginner. However, as the assignments became [...] ]]>

As a fan of Japanese scrapbooks, I caught the bug of collecting the random scraps of design you run into every day: sugar packets, wrapping string, envelopes with their crazy safety patterns inside, subway tickets, and so on. When I was moving I found a motherlode of such items at the Post Office, where I [...] ]]>

PS I Love You: Symbols

Katrina — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:00:32 +0000

Unicode has lots of characters that are graphically striking on their own regardless of their intended meaning. When I see a symbol that I don’t know the meaning of (and there are lots of them like this symbol ⏃ for Dentistry), I see a simple, abstract icon devoid of meaning, but still interesting to look [...] ]]>
