Sisters Lise and Cyrille are the creative duo behind SistersGulassa

DTG Facebook Designing Women

A tale of two sisters who are steeped in the design spirit with color, design, illustration and eye-popping visions! To SistersGulassa the world is an exciting universe of forms
and colors, full of unexpected energy—an outlook expressed
in the joie de vivre that is our signature style.
      Lise says, the design process is like an adventure.

Quoting  begins I like to be open to the possibilities, the discoveries that come along the way — this is when or where interesting things start to happen. Often the idea of what I want to accomplish involves constraints that make the creative challenge exciting to me. Quoting  ends

Missy Meyer has fixed Comic Sans? You bet’cha!

DTG Facebook Designing Women

We like just about everything we see about Missy Meyer writer, cartoonist, font maker, semi-crazy cat lady. We were going to talk about her prolific collection of scripts, now being hawked by several of the replicator sites, but then got side-tracked by some of her other works!
Missy writes :

Quoting  begins The original font I used when I started putting the doodles online back in 2013 was one I’d created the year before, back when the great YourFonts.com site would let you create fonts for free on National Handwriting Day Quoting  ends

Then we discovered how she’s taken the concept of hand written and turned it into “Holiday Doodles” a fitting replacement for comic sans!

Mahima makes minimal LOGOS … and other cool stuff

DTG Facebook Designing Women

What caught our attention was a free minimal logo collection in one of those freebie hawker sites — but these were pretty darn good! We looked further and discovered Mahima Mahajan who does all kinds of branding, graphic design, and UI/UX work from her studios in Noida, India. Mahima is truly a minimalist, and has a sensitive hand at making a whole lot of something out of nothing!
