Let's Get Alphabetical? Cynical? I'm Out of Words that end in -ical...

Okay, guys. I'm sure you're wondering what the title is about. Long story short, I blame Olivia Newton-John...and the part of your brain that gets horrible songs stuck in your head. 

So, now I'm sure you're wondering what this blog post is about. Long story short, I don't know. But hopefully I'll figure it out as I go. You see, I need one more "source of inspiration," and I'm at a loss. Has anything inspired me lately? Short answer, no. 

Although...I do have a thought in my head. I'm not sure how it'll work with design. But I strive to be creative. Let's just see how it goes.

Any Twin Peaks fans out there? As I type this I realize none of you can answer me. But, I'd like to think that at least one of you is. Anyway, Showtime just released the full cast of the revival. I. Could. Not. Be. More. Excited.

Okay. Let's get Halloween-ical? No? Fine. I tried. Let's just talk about Halloween. And Twin Peaks. Twin Peaks has got to be one of the strangest shows that has ever graced a television screen. So maybe, as a tribute to Twin Peaks and its revival, on Halloween, Blogger could do some kind of Twin Peaks design. Before you enter a blog, maybe a couple flashes of GIFs show up like this:

Maybe they're not scary, but they sure are strange. And I think they'd be a nice inclusion either on a strange holiday like Halloween, or maybe just on the day the Twin Peaks' reboot is released, and they sure would make Twin Peaks fans happy! Just something to think about, Blogger Gods. (And Gods of Twin Peaks advertising I suppose.)

Let's Get Spherical...or Something Like That

Recently, I have been designing a booklet for a class I am taking. The booklet has A LOT of content and I thought it would be nice if I could break it up with some colored watermarks. In the end, I chose to use circles as my watermarks. As far as color was concerned, I used a single color that matched the best with the theme of the booklet.

So...it got me thinking. Why not have some nice watermarks on our posts? It might brighten them up a bit! Of course, we'll have to choose wisely--we don't want our posts to look to busy. But breaking the posts up with some cool watermarks that kind of match the theme of what we're writing about could be kind of cool. Like, in my case, it would maybe be a stack of books

I'm sorry I can't show you an example of what my booklet looks like...it's a work in progress, but here are some examples of what I'm talking about.
