Hello Goodtype Tuesday! Our pal Aaron Draplin (@draplin), designer and founder of Draplin Design Co., co-founder of @fieldnotesbrand and pioneer of the "thick lines" style has done something super rad for us in celebration of reaching our 1 million followers milestone! He and the Field Notes Brand team made special limited edition Goodtype Field Notes notebooks! And you have a chance to get your hands on some! Including the special "Strength in Letters" pin designed by our pal, Mark Caneso! Aaron Draplin has a very unique design style (swipe to see some of his work). One that can be recognized a mile away. He has spent years refining that style and making it very distinctly his. He has even coined the term "thick lines." What is your style? What makes your lettering and design distinctly yours? Is it a particular color palette? Is it the way you use flourishes? Does your lettering use particular references? You challenge this week is to letter the phrase "Own your style." And in the caption explain what sets your lettering and design style apart. What makes it distinctly yours? Tag your entry @draplin, @fieldnotesbrand, @goodtype and hashtag it #GoodtypeXFieldNotes and don't forget to have fun! The winners will be announced Friday, June 21st via the @Goodtype Stories. You have until Thursday, June 20th at 11:59 PM (or 23:59) to post your entry. . . . . #thicklines #ddc #draplin #goodtype #strengthinletters #graphicdesign #logotype #lettering #typedesign #fieldnotesbrand #typography #handlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/By0n--zpzBH/?igshid=325c6pbga022

Been super inspired by Draplin’s work lately. These are a few design examples of Milwaukee Wisconsin where I grew up. I tried to find things and symbols that represented the city. 

I have been working in skillshare lately from one of my favorite designers the one and only Aaron Draplin. You have to keep working if you want to get somewhere great and that’s the exact journey I’m on.

Aaron Draplin: Pretty Much Everything is a mid-career survey of work, case studies, inspiration, road stories, lists, maps, how-tos, and advice. It includes examples of his work—posters, record covers, logos—and presents the process behind his design with projects like Field Notes and the “Things We Love” State Posters. Draplin also offers valuable advice and hilarious commentary that illustrates how much more goes into design than just what appears on the page. With Draplin’s humor and pointed observations on the contemporary design scene, Draplin Design Co. is the complete package for the new generation of designers.

2nd color of 3 on the poster collaboration for the @draplin Lecture between @cwpress + @saplingpress + @strawberryluna. One more to go! I posted a quick & rough print process video (one post back) if your nerdy like me. Probably about 2 baker's dozen-ish tickets left for the Lecture, the mingle, the raffle and OH YEAH these posters left (one for each attendee yinz) all at @thehollywoodtheaterdormont next Friday 3/3 so don't whiff and miss out. Info, tickets, etc. @fulltimepgh. #PrintMaking #Silkscreen #ScreenPrinting #Printmakers #DDC #DraplinDesignCo #Draplin #AaronDraplin #handpulled #Handprinted #Pittsburgh #fulltimepgh

@pelikens says their style is “logic, simplicity and maze” for this week’s Goodtype Tuesday with @draplin and @fieldnotesbrand! . . . . . #GoodtypeXFieldNotes #goodtype #draplin #fieldnotesbrand #lettering #type #typedesign #handlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/By25TauJM27/?igshid=ujj0y1abmlcc

Love this fun style by @caseyskylar ・・・ “To be straight up with you all, I have never ever thought of myself as a designer with a particular “style” I’m a big believer that your creativity is hugely derived from your mental and emotional state. Things change in my life, my inspiration changes, so my style changes. So here I am now. Digging on bold shapes, southwestern patterns, and natural colors Maybe next week I’ll change it up 🤷🏼‍♀️ That’s the coolest part about being human, not everything about you is one thing 〰️ A big, huge shoutout to @goodtype and @draplin for this #goodtypetuesday prompt, love being able to share this side of my work!” • • • • #design #graphicdesign #illustration #pattern #southwest #goodtype #lettering #shapes #womenofillustration #draplin https://www.instagram.com/p/By3JWslp3CK/?igshid=16p2obr0qkyyl
