Vintage Motorcycle Typography

Sara Cannon — Mon, 14 May 2012 07:08:31 +0000

I had the neat experience of going to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum here in Birmingham, Alabama. I wasn’t expecting that I would like the museum as much as I did. The collection of vintage typography on the beautifully crafted motorcycles were just stunning. I also really enjoyed some of the old pressed metal work and emblems. Here are some photos of the vintage type.

Art Acquisition: John Lytle Wilson’s painting “Who Gave Them Guns?”

I’m super excited to have bought this piece of art today. John Lytle Wilson’s art is very imaginative and vibrant. I had my eye on this piece last fall at his show at Rojo and so when I saw that he had not sold it at the Magic City Art Connection here in Birmingham, I had to get it. You can view more of his paintings here: http://johnlytlewilson.com/paintings.

Inspiration: Gravity-Defying Land Art by Cornelia Konrads

I can not tell you how much I’m in love with these outdoor installations. I love the gravity defying rocks and branches. Making things with weight seem light has been something that I’ve been dreaming up in my head for a while… and this captures a lot of my dreams. Wow.

PandoDaily Mobile Site

Sara Cannon — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:03:27 +0000

Last week I designed and launched PandoDaily’s Mobile site with Greg Kumparak’s PandoDaily Lead and Aaron Campbell’s development skills. It looks fabulous. We still have a ways to go with it but I’m pretty thrilled the direction its going in.

Interestingly enough, the mobile site used to be responsive (still is for the iPad and Kindle), but we needed something leaner that can put the focus directly on the PandoTicker and post headlines. Going away from responsive site for mobile was a good fit in this case.

Check out Greg’s writeup on the site here.
