Please check out my friend's new blog post about reframing!

"Reframing" is a powerful life coping technique you can use to change negative thoughts about your circumstances into positive, productive, or grown-oriented ones. In this blog post I analyze the lyrics of “Wanted Dead or Alive”, a popular power ballad written by Bon Jovi, to provide examples of reframing.

Political beliefs aside—the campaign branding for this newcomer politician is fantastic. The designer is being called "radical" and "actually good."

Perhaps we will see a shift in political advertising moving forward.

The smart typography and a radical color palette are a rare example of good design on the campaign trail.

Happy Friday! Here's a pretty ampersand from a new font called Sagona (Bold Italic)! The font also has a beautiful two-story "a" in the book weight that I may or may not be drooling over this morning.
