Mary Blair’s art has inspired me for a very long time, but I do not always. Whether through my golden book he is portrayed, or Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, I was conscious of his illustrations in color and so at an early age.
It was a trip to Disneyland as a fourth class and get to see, It’s Small World, the greatest impact my art does.

This really knocked my socks Small World & I often think how I can try to reconstruct (when listening to recordings Disney of course).
As an adult I still enjoy her illustrations and creative vision, along with Small World It’s even more appreciated. Happy Birthday to Mary Blair-100!

This study shows that 10 families are the most popular fonts used by newspapers today: Poynter, Franklin Gothic, Helvetica, Utopia, Times, Nimrod, Century Old Style, Interstate, Trade Gothic and Optima. This makes sense, Davis said, because many of the typefaces designed specifically for newspapers that include the types of features that challenge the design for readablity reproduction on paper.
In addition, the study found that most of the newspapers studied rely on custom fonts and type faces. Ascender says this is because the use of custom fonts allows publications to strengthen their brand and quality, which differ exclusively for their publications.
