Crosstitch Typography

This is pretty cool, well I find it cool anyway but that may be because I have a thing for crosstitch (which you may have noticed)
This is by Object Graphik and is a project where people can buy a specially built crosstitch kit and create their own crosstitch typography.
I really like this idea, as it allows people to create their own handmade typography easilly, as you work with a set grid. It also looks amazing at the end of it to!

Website Design Brief

This is the Crosstitch background to the website I'm designing for a University project. The brief is to design a site for a band with a least 5 links.

I chose the band Bishop Allen-- the crosstitch idea came from the homespun aesthetic of the band and I wanted to design something hand rendered to fit with this.

I hope the rest of the site comes together as I really like this as the starting point.
