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!

  • “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way… things I had no words for.” ~Georgia O’Keefe This is the third and last painting of my abstracted series. I paired it with another one of my favorite art and painting quotes by Georgia O’Keefe.

  • “Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.” ~Leonardo da Vinci I am a big fan of Leonardo da Vinci, he was so amazingly talented and insightful, so I wanted to share a quote of his. The background is a close up of an abstracted painting series I just finished. To see the rest of the series, here is the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34323108@N03/sets/72157625332517097/
