Happy New Year!

2014!At my house we’ve been talking for the past 2 weeks about all of the goals we want to set for 2014 which has been exciting and really scary. I’m not sure why we have these lizard brains that freak out when we want to try something new! But today I am fighting my lazy lizard brain to and starting to learn basic design!

A few books that are already on my list to start the journey are:

1) Graphic Design as a Second Language: Bob Gill

2) The elements of Typographic Style: Robert Bringhurst

3) Thinking with Type: Ellen Lupton

4) How to become a designer without going to design school: Karen X. Cheng

I haven’t been good with sticking to an area of study and becoming knowledgeable about it. I hate to admit even to myself that I have a couple of Coursera classes that were started and never finished.

But, a goal I have for myself this year is to have an opinion and stick to it, so let’s get to it right meow :)
