Don’t tell me the South isn’t a foreign country.... 9@http://www.ericaendicott.com/ 2004-04-26T09:02:11-05:00 http://www.ericaendicott.com/blog/archives/2004/02/20/about_typeface.php There’s an old typographer’s joke that the only thing that looks good in Avant Garde is “Avant Garde”— because it was designed only for the magazine’s logo, and not as a full typeface. Ya’ll who like Arial are wack, man. And I can use “Ya’ll” because I live in Atlanta. (I would use it anyway but now I have a... 8@http://www.ericaendicott.com/ 2004-02-20T18:53:03-05:00 http://www.ericaendicott.com/blog/archives/2004/02/05/happy_valentines_day.php Apparently the literacy lobby has convinced the Necco candy company that conversation hearts can be used to carry more than sweet nothings: new messages on the hearts include “Write Me”, “Pen Pal”, “Let’s Read”, and “Book Club”.

Despite a childhood that led me in all directions (ballerina, astronaut, anatomy, physics, creative writing, ambassador to the United Nations) and a degree in journalism, I self-identify as a graphic designer. It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am. I think that’s important, because I’ve met far too many people (especially students) who don’t... 4@http://www.ericaendicott.com/ 2003-12-09T20:26:24-05:00
