An Open Letter to James Cameron From Papyrus
Dear Mr. Cameron,
A letter such as this can hardly do justice to the overwhelming gratitude I’m hoping to express herein. Your most recent film, Avatar, has finally legitimized my work in a way I’ve only ever dreamed of.
Goodness knows I’ve worked hard the past 26 years to make a name for myself. And it’s felt great coming to the aid of New Age spa owners, suburban party planners, and young couples looking to save money by making their own wedding invitations. But only now, by appearing in your movie, have I been given mainstream, high-level recognition as a serious typeface. And for that, I thank you.
Imagine my delight so many months ago at seeing the trailers and posters for this, your much anticipated return to science fiction movie making…. Continue reading.

It’s Designed!
keep your eye out for more blog posts as we enter into a new decade of design — (cheesy lines are the way to go you know ;)
Great work you guys!
Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated.
– Paul Rand
This is an essay I had to write for one of my classes this semester. Very rough website/videos done for presentation purposes. Kind of fun to do in a way. Again, I say, very rough. Did I mention this is a rough-done-overnight-presentation. Rough & rushed.
If you’re interesting in reading it but dont want to click through, a pdf version is available hereTiffany Jenkins
Really great and interesting essay (the type of essay that’s fun to read) by the ever talented Tiffany Jenkins.
Vector-Photorealism by Seth Teeters.
Adobe Illustrator is mostly known for being able to create specific styles of graphics. I saw this as a limitation and wanted to show that you could create anything with Adobe Illustrator, even photorealistic images. This would be a two-page spread followed by another two-page spread (top and bottom image, respectively) that shows the outline and reveals that this really is not a photograph.
Let’s talk SPACE!
I’m a bit of a science nut… and math, when I find it fun. I took Finite Math at university level when I was ‘taking a year off’ at community college, just for the fun of it, and got an A (because I had nothing better to do). And I find physics fun, even though I retook it just to get a passing D in high school (because I had something better to do). So, Virgin Galactic’s unveiling of SpaceShipTwo has got me pretty geeked out on the space scene this week. But to keep it semi design related, I’m going to post some cool space pics, linked randomly to articles about some cool science. (the links have nothing to do with the posters… makes it more fun). Enjoy.

When you have trouble distinguishing between “work time” and “spare time”, you know you’ve found your calling.
– I’ve always felt a little guilty about spending my waking hours (happily) doing what I supposedly should only be doing do from 9am until 5pm. But it’s nice to hear that this is actually a good thing, haha. Thanks @Tiff.A nice article written by Warren Berger about designers (via AIGA)
A Brand isn’t just the name on the box. It isn’t the thing in the box, either. A brand is the sum total of all the emotions, thoughts, images, history, possibilities, and gossip that exist in the marketplace about a certain company.

I found out about #Lemonade from @Malecopywriter . It looks like an interesting movie.
When I’m not creating, I’m waiting.
–don’t you love when inspiration hits you? when an idea just hits you and you run with it and suddenly have created something that wasn’t there before. when you step back and look and see something great and can say, I did that. Then you take another step back and look around, and say, ‘ok, what’s next?’
never get comfortable in that place.
Stefan Sagmeister brings a fresh perspective to the role and work of a designer. In this podcast interview with Debbie Millman, he discusses his year away from his New York-based design practice, his personal time in Bali, as well as discussing his new, in-progress documentary film, Happiness.

About Me...
My name is Seth Teetersand I am addicted to design. I am the type who can never create enough. I fill journals with ideas that I don't have time for and come back to them when/if I get the chance. For me, true happiness comes in those moments when I've just finished a long and grueling project and can step back and admire the craftsmanship. It's a fleeting happiness, because it's then that I'm most excited for what comes next. What do I get to create now? You tell me... CREATE@SethTeeters.net
