I have a progress critique on my bicyclette brand book tomorrow at 8am (ugh), so I’m working away on that,  but wanted to quickly share something that serves as both eye candy and words of encouragement. I feel like I need both right now.

I love the bold but friendly type, bright colours, retro style and make-you-smile messages. And the distressing on the letters is something I may have to play around with for bicyclette, as I like the vintage quality it adds.

These remind me of those motivational posters that teachers had in their class rooms, with kittens reminding you to “Hold on!” or whatnot. Except way cooler and for the design-minded.

Now, back to work! And yes, I will keep calm and rock on…
