Some oldies

     Over ten years ago, I started Play With Your Type as a blog, later mirroed by a Tumblr, as an exercize of commitment, consistency and idea generation. 

    The self-imposed challenge: Every Wednesday, after work, I'd take 5 to 10 minutes between idea generation and quick layout execution on computer (I usually do a pencil sketch first, but for this challenge I have decided to skip it), involving a play with words and type. Some of the posts are selected bellow.

I didn't want it to be the first works a potential employer would see when browsing my name, so I stopped the challenge, thus removing the blog due to search indexing and keeping the more obscure Tumblr, which went on from 2013 to 2015.
