Reusable Grocery / Tote Bags with an Ecological Message

Growing up, I remember helping dad load up the back of the old Ford station wagon with newspapers. We would drive them out to a little shack in the country and drive onto a giant scale system. Then we would unload the papers and drive back onto the scales. That old recycling center would pay is for the weight of the papers.

We also collected cans, glass and anything else that was recyclable so we could 'help the environment.' We were recycling before it was cool (or convenient). You see, my dad has always been a die-hard environmentalist. We spent a lot of time backpacking and camping, and he would stop along the trail and pick up candy wrappers or cigarette butts, even if he had on a 30lb. pack. He firmly instilled the leave it better than you found it motto in us, and my brother, my sister and I all do what we can to help the environment.

In keeping with my fundamental beliefs, I developed a collection of reusable totes with ecological messages. Here are the fist of what I hope is many. If you like the products or the message, I appreciate if you would share these around. And if you have any clever ideas for additional designs, I'd love to hear about them in the comment section.

Thank you. And remember: reduce, reuse, recycle. :-)

Another sampling of the Typography Motivational Throw Pillows

This blog post displays more of the throw pillows I made with a health and fitness focus. I used a distinctive typographical style to create these pillows.

My brother is an Ironman triathlete. In fact, he recently received the AWA (All World Athlete) designation. Our family is very sports, health and fitness focused so these pillows were fun for me to design. Of course, I had to include “run harder,” “swim faster,” and “bike longer” especially for him, and all you tri guys. We had a discussion about whether that pillow should say “bike longer” or “bike further.” As you can I settled on “bike longer.” Which do you think works best?

I will gladly change the font style, the font color, the pillow background or anything else you’d like. Furthermore, if you can think of a workout motivation phrase or quote that would look good on a pillow, please let me know. Thanks!
