Gear Thursday is back this week with a giveaway from a great company called Paper Culture and I'm giving away $25 coupon codes to two different winners. I found Paper Culture on my search for some really well designed birth announcements. Being a designer I probably should have designed them myself but the chaos of a new baby made that impossible. When I saw their announcements I was psyched...we ordered the one below. We were super happy we went with them over some of the other places we've found. A few reasons for that...their designs are great and pretty much the style I would have designed, they are printed on really nice stock (a matte 130lb thick paper), the cards have rounded corners which makes them look nicer and real people lay out your cards. That last one was kind of important to me. You plug in your info and a designer lays it out and sends you a proof in a couple days. You can OK it, make a change or decide not to go with it...there is no obligation. Everyon

i totally read every single one of these and wish i thought of it as well as had more infographics in my day to day. nerd.
ReplyDeletehello! just found this, love your blog. i will be following. want to do a link exchange? ill put you in my blogs i dig and vice versa? let me know, thanks! -sarah, rock n' stroll
ReplyDeleteI read. Miloh is like a week older than Bronwyn, so it's actually interesting to me. Not that I have anything to compare since I don't track anything.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE them. I read all of them ;)
ReplyDeleteso I am proven wrong...thanks.
ReplyDeleteI figured people look at them, but it's the same info over and over so the sub-head kind of things (stuff after number of bottles or diapers) is tough to come up with new stuff every week...and I had creative block this week.
thanks
reading these give me hope for the 2 infographics classes i took.
ReplyDeleteand failed.
maddie
I read them.
ReplyDeleteI heart them.
They make me jealous that I don't do cool things like keep stats on my kids.
Mom fail.
@maddie I think an infographics teacher would scoff at my weeklies because they are probably not technically infographics. I think these number ones have a different name.
ReplyDeleteYour weekly infographics are great. Miloh will love to see these when he is older.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, do you know David McCandless? I think you'd love his latest book, Information is Beautiful. You should check it out.
I do know David McCandless. I'd love to be at that level sometime but aside from Miloh I have no graphics to do...I should just do random ones.
ReplyDeleteHe has a Ted video but I haven't watched it yet http://www.ted.com/talks/david_mccandless_the_beauty_of_data_visualization.html
