is this the copywriting equivalent to the art-side's styleguide? I might just be nearing my saturation for bullshit - but I can't seem to grasp the importance of inspirational idioms and phrases for products like bug spray. Thoughts?

One of my best friends, illustrator Erik Jones, does some amazing work. Was on ffffound.com tonight and saw a new piece of his - except it WASN'T his. It was done by a woman named Charmaine Olivia. She's not only taken his style, but his subjects too:

need of talented calligrapher Sep 16, 11, 10:01 a.m.

Hey Gents (and the occasional lass),

I'm working on a brand that requires some pretty beautiful calligraphy/hand-rendered type.

It's going to be a part of a larger idea - and I don't even know where to begin looking for someone to do this kind of thing.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I'm not looking for fonts, rather actual hand-rendered calligraphy/type that I'll scan (and trace?) and use for individual pieces that will play into the brand (i.e. the wording on the business card will use language specific to the business card and will require its own artwork.) I think there will need to be atleast 10-12 pieces total and, of course, the budget it limited. Anyone have any recommendations of people based off the images below?

Looking for the term for the letter 'o' with an angle above it. Gives the letter the phonetic sounds of "ah" as in P(o)L = Paul.

Any help?

Visionaire 60: Religion (nsfw) Jun 9, 11, 2:31 p.m.

Designer Riccardo Tisci tackles a precarious topic in VISIONAIRE‘s upcoming issue #60 simply titled “Religion.” Created in collaboration with Givenchy, the issue falls in line with Tisci’s own profound interest in religion and its current role in not only culture but fashion as well. The once practicing Roman Catholic has prepared an issue of full excitement and great photography in conjunction with some familiar “saints” including Carine Roitfeld as seen here in an image shot by Karl Lagerfeld. The topic of religion doesn’t come cheap as the single issue is available for pre-order now at VISIONAIRE, with a retail price of $425 USD.

Layered images in HTML/CSS Apr 10, 11, 8:49 p.m.

I know this is going to be pretty basic for a lot of you - so please have patience with me!

I've got an image on a site - and I'm trying to place a .png with transparent gradient over it. I think this has something to do with the z-index, but I'm just stuck. Does anyone have a few lines of code they could throw at me?

Thanks!

Funny thing happened... Feb 9, 11, 8:31 p.m.

I started writing/designing a brand book for my agency - an educational book about what branding is, is not, and everything in between. To start this out, I started by doing some open-thought writing... Thoughts on what branding means for the small company to the multiple-national corporation... 20 minutes into this "process" I wrote the phrase 'I'd rather be working with my hands to help people, build their homes, solve big issues, discover my true life's purpose than write, analytically, about the value of branding'... And after writing this I've lost all desire to do what itis I considered myself best at...

Has anyone else had an "ah-ha" moment like this? Is this just a sign of too much introspective thought? I'm truly lost on this one. Your thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated...
