(Re)Designing:Brand Focus and Exposure

I’ve long decided that my shortened name (Rey Reynoso not Reynaldo Reynoso) is my brand. It’s the name I use on the magazine. It’s what I use on Facebook. It’s what I’ve been using on my Bible site. It’s what I’ve been using on my most recent edition of my design site. But why not [...]

Fontisizing Impact

Like an old yenta, a designer is often found matchmaking design projects and fonts.  With so many designs, the designer ensures they have access to as many possible matches as possible.
