TypePhrase a Day

This blog is dedicated to posting one typographic design a day based on various quotes, phrases, sayings, lyrics, and any other inspirational words. For every day, I will try to find a way to visually express what the phrase is saying, the meaning behind the words. I have credited all persons referenced for the quotes, but all the designs and images are my own!

An epigram enthusiast myself, I hope you find a few here that speak to you, as these have to me. I find that different words of wisdom help me depending on the day, and I truly believe in the power of positive thinking, no matter what. Peace all.

Best,
Kelli

P.S. If you have any favorite quotes, send them along, I would love to read them and perhaps use them in my Typephrase a Day!
