[#Design] Historical Seattle on a Typographic Pub Crawl

Posted on by Eric Brooks

From CreativePro.com –Stepping Through Historical Seattle on a Typographic Pub Crawl:

“
Stepping Through Historical Seattle on a Typographic Pub CrawlWhen I found out that the annual North American typography conference, TypeCon, was going to be in my hometown of Seattle, I decided to create a conference event that would somehow provide a unique experience to typographers from out-of-town. My love for the city is deep since I’ve lived here my entire life (aside from spending my undergraduate years in Spokane, WA and at graduate school in Scotland). Seattle – nestled between the water and the mountains – offers everything our art-creating, coffee-drinking, airplane-making, software-programming locals desire. The knowledgeable Paul Shaw was already scheduled to give his famous TypeCon typography walk in downtown Seattle, so I wanted to choose a different neighborhood and add a little something to make it unique. After all, my first font release, Bemis, in 2013, was based on the 1917 inscription on the historic Bemis building in Seattle. I loved the look of the high-waisted capital letters, so I created a historical revival inspired by the B-E-M-I-S letterforms inscribed onto the front of the brick building.

[Design] CreativePro Tip of the Week: Using Resource Libraries in Illustrator

Posted on by Eric Brooks

From CreativePro.com –CreativePro Tip of the Week: Using Resource Libraries in Illustrator:

“
CreativePro Tip of the Week: Using Resource Libraries in IllustratorAdobe Illustrator offers a wealth of resources for creating great artwork, in the form of libraries of color swatches, brushes, symbols, graphic styles. These are not to be confused with Creative Cloud libraries, which you populate with your own graphics, colors, etc. You can access resource libraries from the various panels, by clicking on the button to access the panel’s library menu. When you select a library, it opens in a new panel. Use the left and right arrow buttons on the library panel to navigate through the various libraries. By default, when you quit and restart Illustrator, the library panel will be closed, but you can force it to stay open by going to the panel menu and choosing Persistent. You can also add specific resources to the Swatches, Brushes, Symbols…
