QUOTE: instructions for living a life

As my workload escalates, I don’t think I’ll be able to provide as many typographic images each Tuesday. Despite what you may think (that picking out pretty poster/images is easy!), it actually is one of the most time-consuming posts I do each week. It takes me forever to find the images I want to feature, and then even longer when I decide to make them myself. On top of that, I usually try and contact the artist/source to get their permission in some way or another. And when I create them, the hardest part is finding the inspiration – the image or quote that inspires me to create my own typographic image. But Tuesdays are still one of my favorite days of the week because I get to share my recent inspirations and typographic loves, so you won’t have to worry about Typography Tuesdays going anywhere.

I’ll be posting some Dee Keller shoes later today, so be sure to check back. If you are an e-mail kind of girl, I’d recommend subscribing via email – it’s my favorite way to keep up with my blogs!

On a side note, I spent several (like way too many) hours trying to figure out this whole server/web hosting thing. Since BrightonTheDay has been around for almost 5 months now, it has grown a tremendous amount in traffic and archives alike.  One thing I’ve been concerned about lately is the speed of the website, so I spent most of my time working on optimizing the site so that it will load quicker for you all. Additionally, I had to get my own private server (crazy!) so that I wouldn’t use too much of the “shared” server. Whew! So, needless to say, I didn’t really get to dive into this stack of papers (aka reading for my Advanced Accounting Final that you might have already seen via my Instagram…)
