I've been working on a style guide for a local client. In the typography section, I created an example paragraph using one of the typefaces I strongly recommend these folks utilize for most body text.

This particular typeface is Modernica, created by Quintana-Font in Chile. It packs a lot of character and flair while remaining quite legible and useful.

The word "education" just looks great.

Check out the K & k! I mean, just look at it! That is some great craftsmanship right there.

We've set up a new shop with TeePublic, with some great new designs available. More designs to come.

Here is the latest addition.

Update: I got rid of the photo with the depressed model. Had to change the art anyway as I adjusted the r in art to read better.

Fun, modern-style poster design for Advent and Christmas. There are a lot of hidden yet discoverable meanings built in.

[Modern poster design for Advent and Christmas. Basic shapes used to create symbols. The text is "Immanuel" and "God with us." Main color scheme is red and yellow on a white background, but splashes black and blue - blending the blue with yellow to make a green Christmas tree.]

New poster available, via Zazzle (till I can figure out a better way to sell them). I will get some detail shots up soon.

I enjoy playing with words, bringing out multiple messages.

Stumbled on these in my archive drive while looking for something else. I started making a series of these for one project, but that was at an 8 in x 8 in size. Wondering if I could take this back up, but, I remember they are time consuming.

The A is actually as awesome as an armored armadillo of awesomeness.

: Siege Line, pub'd by Ace. Not cool, but this review is more about the grand scheme: http://schleitheim.com/cover-review-siege-line/

. Paying anywhere from a mere $70 to $140 will get an author a cover already designed for their book; all you need do is replace the pesky TITLE HERE and AUTHOR NAME pieces with the relevant info. And this cover for

: Around the World in Eighty Wines, pub'd by Rowan & Littlefield Nice work there. http://schleitheim.com/cover-review-around-the-world-in-eighty-wines/

This cover is a bit clever and fun. The color plays well, and the typography is consistent. The design doesn’t try to do too much. The imagery (particularly the balloon) is eye grabbing, the title is clear and legible, and it’s all made to tie so well with the description. Really nice work.

: Love Big, Be Well, pub'd by This was a tough one; back and forth. http://schleitheim.com/cover-review-love-big-be-well/ …

Oddly enough, I started this review as a Thumbs Up. As I started to lay out the negatives, they just seemed to pile on. The more I looked at it, the more I found. Eventually they overtook the positives. And that’s upsetting.

: The Secret Poisoner, pub'd by Yale University Press, London Very nice cover work there. http://bit.ly/2twIE13

I really like the look of this one. The style evoking the era, and the classic poison image using real bones instead of the typical, simplified icon-look, are all a great touch. The type is done quite well, and, importantly, it’s consistent. This a well thought through piece.
