In this Linocut Print post, I took a photo a stone cross located in the Mountain View Cemetery, in Oakland, many years ago and then I create a linocut print. It is one of my favorite prints.

This post shows an example of embossing and debossing.?Embossing results in a design that is raised up from the surrounding paper and debossing results in a design that is stamped down or recessed into the surrounding paper. #reite_design #graphicdesigner #creativedirection?#freelancedesign?

Graphic Design Myths to Debunk: Myth 3: “Graphic design is just about using design software & tools.” Actually a foundation in design principles, typography, color theory and layout is necessary for creating designs. Graphic designers understand target audiences, project objectives and how to develop effective designs. Design software is a tool that helps create the ideas, but it does not replace the need for creative thinking, conceptualization and design principles. Graphic design encompasses both artistic and technical skills to deliver effective designs that communicate what the client needs.? #reite_design #graphicdesigner #creativedirection?#freelancedesign #graphicdesignmyth

Font of the Month: Richler Pro. Commissioned in memory of author Mordecai Richler, this typeface takes its cue from the ingenious postmodern tour de force that is his novel Barney’s Version, fusing present-day structure with traditional skill. Its metrical quality is derived from ‘technical’ sans serifs such as DIN, producing an even measure unusual in a serifed type, facilitating legibility down to the smallest sizes. This fonts feels both classic and modern. I hope to find the right project for this serif font. #reite_design #graphicdesigner #creativedirection?#freelancedesign #fontofthemonth
