Big news in the design world today... Getty Images acquiring Shutterstock in a 3.7B deal - announced this morning. Will be interesting to see what happens to Shutterstock’s (relatively affordable) pricing. 🤔

Getty Images and Shutterstock to Merge, Creating a Premier Visual Content Company

New work alert!

Recently, I had the privilege of rebranding a historic landmark bed & breakfast in Gainesville, Florida. Sweetwater Branch Inn is a Victorian-era complex of mansions, circa 1885, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Needing a refresh on their 40+ year old branding, they asked me to give it a modern update which maintained its rich history.

The new brand is now live, complete with a fresh new color palette, custom typography, all-new collateral — and more! Full case study coming soon...

Big news coming out of the design world today! Wasn't sure what to think of the merger when it was first announced, but it's probably a good thing this was called off...

What are your thoughts?

Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma Figma will receive a $1 billion fee.

Today Pantone announced their color of the year, PANTONE 13-1023 "Peach Fuzz".

In their words, they say "Peach Fuzz captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It's a velvety gentle peach tone whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body, and soul."

Personally, I like the color and find it very calming. Better than some previous colors of the year. What are your thoughts?
