eye.candy

I am aware that this blog is called "linguistically smitten" and not "eye candy addict," but to be honest, where would words be without design? And vice versa? I've always believed that the auspicious marriage of the two mediums would be a mighty reckoning force. That's what I wished for, anyway...

And when I'm cranking out sentences on the assembly line of my keyboard, I need two things: music and pictures. So I continue to amass an ever-growing list of sites where I can feed my eyes and rest my fingers in the moments when the word feast runs famine.

I Love You More Than ________

Sweeter than conversational hearts at Valentine’s Day, this was created by Paperwhite Studio as a user-driven art project that turned into the most tender declarations of love. The real kind, not the Hallmark kind. Getting one of these would be so so much better than a card.

The Dieline

Packaging design blog. Because sometimes, the only thing that makes you want to buy something is the packaging. In my next life I’m coming back as a chocolate bar wrapper.

My Love For You Is a Stampede of Horses

I find this blog extremely appealing, which surprises me. It’s quite a bit more whimsical than my typical taste, but sometimes you need to opt in for the strawberry shortcake.

Elysium burns

Big, chunky letters, and delicate little scripts. Yum, time for lunch.

Hydro74

They designed deco My Little Ponies. Enough said.

Now you'll be distracted at work and unproductive. You're welcome!
