Using Stock Images on Social Media

January 16, 2017 by Patricia

Hey, hey! It's my first post for the year!  I thought I'd share a tip that has helped me with my social media strategy immensely. You'll find no resolutions or word of the year here, it's not really my style. I tend to hit the ground running and just move towards my goal with everything I … [Read more...] about Using Stock Images on Social Media

Instapanic

April 2, 2016 by Patricia

  This week witnessed a collective hysteria from so many small business owners over at Instagram.  In 24 hours, almost every account on my feed begged me to turn on post notifications, afraid that when the new algorithm rolls out, no one will see their posts anymore.  After the 100th or so … [Read more...] about Instapanic

Curating Instagram

April 28, 2015 by Patricia

I encounter this question a lot on the various facebook groups that I'm a part of: Should you carefully style and curate your instagram feed, or do you go for real life images in order to be more authentic?

THE EXPERIENCE CONTINUES ON INSTAGRAM @FANCYGIRLDESIGNS

The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: n The typefaces surfacing this week share a theme: not serifs broadly, but a specific vintage register, letterforms with visible weight variation, a slightly worn edge, the sense that someone drew them by hand. 
The Ashcombe Hall has the gravity of a country house library, the kind of face you'd expect stamped in gold on a leather spine. Vintage Serenade moves looser, more lyrical, closer to something a calligrapher would have signed.
Design has swung this way before. When the Industrial Revolution made everything fast and identical, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement answered with ornament, with craft, with the visible mark of the maker. The clean grid had its long turn at the wheel. This particular kind of type, textured, hand-cut, carrying a sense of history in the strokes, is having its own.
The antiques returning to people's living rooms and this type returning to branding are doing the same work. Both are reminding us a skilled hand was involved.
The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love The Victorians read morning glory as fleeting love. I read it as a flower that simply knows when to leave the party.

Every object here survived because someone refused to rush the first pass. That's what craftsmanship actually is, a decision rather than a finish, made once, correctly, by someone with the patience to do it properly. Cornicing nobody hurried. A pattern made stitch by stitch. A tack room that assumes you already know what you're looking at.
The eighteenth century understood something we're still relearning: ornament is a form of discipline, not decoration for its own sake. That's the instinct behind this palette, this pairing, this whole quiet insistence on doing it right.
I am so excited to be working on this brand identity!
