Designers Galore
Hello My lovelies! I’m beyond happy to be writing this post because this is my first collaboration!! I was invited out last Sunday to write a piece on Sip. Shop. Eat! If you haven’t heard of this event and you are a small apparel/jewelry line, then you’re missing out. SSE is a monthly market that showcases local designers. It was started by Taylar Hagan and her husband who had their own line (Bela Noelle) and felt that they weren’t getting enough from the markets they attended. SSE was created with the intention of building small brands up while giving them a place to meet other up and coming designers as well possible clients and industry insiders. For more information on Taylar and upcoming dated on Sip. Shop. Eat follow the links here and here
I will be splitting this up into two part as to keep from becoming too long on one post. I didn’t get a chance to speak with everyone, as I needed to head out. But I encourage you to stop by their next even to see all the amazing designers for yourself. Now let's jump right in! READ MORE
Love how this roundup shines a light on independent designers — the mix of texture and bold letterforms is really inspiring. Between sketching sessions I have been unwinding with drive mad 2 for a few minutes at a time; the physics puzzles are oddly relaxing and a good way to reset before the next design sprint.
Great roundup of designers — the way texture and bold print get balanced here is genuinely inspiring. When I need a short break between sketching sessions I usually play 2 min drill for a couple of minutes, and it always resets my eye before going back to layouts.
I have been hooked on mad drive lately - instant arcade racing that runs right in the browser with no install. Perfect for those quick creative breaks between design sprints.
Love that SSE is giving small designers a real platform to connect and grow — so many markets just don't do enough for the brands they feature. Also, the idea of showcasing your work in person makes me think about how much presentation matters, especially when a bad quality image can totally kill a first impression online. Definitely going to check out the next event and see what these local folks are bringing!
Drive Mad combines funny vehicle movement with challenging obstacle courses to create an addictive gaming experience. The gameplay is smooth, the levels are creative, and the challenge increases perfectly over time. It’s one of the most enjoyable free driving games online!
