Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

As pre­vi­ously men­tioned, this week I’ve taken off to the Outer Banks for a much-needed vaca­tion. And lucky for me, I’ve got some great blog­ger friends who agreed to guest post while I’m gone. Today you’ll have the plea­sure of hear­ing from Andrea of Fly.

Every week on Fly I fea­ture a Fly Girl of the Week, a woman who shares a lit­tle about her­self and her cre­ative endeav­ours. This week’s Fly Girl of the Week is House Industries’ designer Bondé Prang. Not only did she grace Fly with her pres­ence, but she was also kind enough to give us an exclu­sive behind-the-scenes look at a recent House Industries project.

You see, I love hand-lettering. If I could it all day, I would. I also love see­ing the process of how oth­ers go about cre­at­ing letter-forms and type­faces so I was excited to see what the guys were up to at House Industries. Here we have some sketches for the logo of Eric Weiss done by Ken Barber. Bondé men­tions that he worked on the ini­tial sketches and tight pen­cils for the let­ter­ing. Then Chris Gardner inked the final let­ter­ing (added high­lights and all that) and also drew/inked the lit­tle guy illustration.

Thanks Bondé for sharing!
