In the first half of my life as a School of Visual Arts grad and graphic designer, the following six designers molded my design thinking, as they were faculty t...eachers and I took any class I could with them: David Carson, Chip Kidd, Barbara deWilde, Paula Scher, Michael Ian Kaye and Milton Glaser. As I type this I realize how amazing it was to have all this brilliant influence, and at the same time... I wonder what it would have been like to have more diversity and have some color mixed into that #FFFFFF RGB 256/256/256 Pantone 000C memory swatch .. #design See more

Hi everyone! My name is Joanne Lesk and I'm the owner and designer behind High Five Creative. Here are 5 facts you may or may not know about me. 1. I've worked a little bit everywhere. Newspaper, events, non-profits, sporting events. 2. I've been drawing since I was little. I went through a fantasy phase in my 20's.... 3. Two highlights were designing some work for Margaret Atwood and designing for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. 4. I went to college when I was 28 years old for graphic design. I felt like I was old but I look back and I was a baby. Lol 5. I've been working out of my home office designing for primarily small businesses. #smallbusiness #smallbizowner #graphicdesigner #designerlife #entrepreneurlife #ottawavalleybusiness #ottawavalley #virtualhighfive

Did you know that Comic Sans was designed by Vincent Connare and released by Microsoft? It was intended for Children's materials and comics. This is why understanding intended use is important. What do you think of Comic Sans? #typography #comicsans #graphicdesigner #ottawavalleybusiness

Ready or Not end-of-life services offers community support, education, unique workshops & groups, ceremonies and rituals for navigating dying, death and bereavement. Serving the Ottawa Valley. Julie Keon came to me when she needed her business rebranded. She really connected with moon snail shells and the symbolism that is in the spiral in connection with her work around life and death. I designed the logo with simplicity in mind and uniting the organic within the perfect cir...cle shape. The colours yellow and black symbolizing life and death. Please check out Julie's business Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/readyornoteol and website designed by Das Studio : www.readyornoteol.com

This is really cool! What do you think?

Happy Family Day! Spending mine with my loves.

Seriously don't. #inspirationalwords #helvetica #quotes #graphicdesigner #entrepreneurlife
