Ugh, not now!!!

In the midst of one of the busiest weeks of my life (ok, I exaggerate; I'm sure there have been others), I am coming down with a cold. I have been burning the candle at both ends, which I'm sure is the reason. Plus, the little dude has had a runny nose for a couple of days. (I would add a photo, but I have a thing about photographing him with all those boogers. Grosses me out. Wait a sec, did I actually just write "boogers" in my blog?)

So I have at least six design projects to finish (some haven't been started yet....shhh, don't tell anyone), plus a rehearsal for worship team and I fear that I'm losing my voice. Noooooo!! I am chugging the Throat Coat tea (I swear by that stuff...it tastes bad but does the job), downing the Airborne, etc., and lots of water. The only thing missing is sleep. So, with that....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Make Your Own Street Signs!

While designing some street signs for the elementary school environment at our new church, I stumbled upon a really great website that allows you to type in your text, click a button and download a PDF or an image of a street sign. Then I was able to open the PDFs in Illustrator, make some final tweaks, and voila! Kindergarten Street on up through Fifth Grade Drive were done in a flash.

I'm kind of a font geek, so I already have 20+ street (and highway) sign fonts. And I could have done it myself. But this saved me SO much time. Here's a link, in case you want to try it!

And oh my goodness, Wigflip.com has lots of other fun little tools, too! I could waste hours here. But I won't...lots of other graphics to crank out tonight!
