Special Guest
o introduction needed for today’s guest contributor Louise Fili Ltd. Louise is a legend and my number one hero in design. If it wasn’t for her, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today career wise—she was an epically amazing teacher and just general all around great person to work for so of course she was first on my list to ask to contribute to the guest alphabet. If you’re not familiar with Louise’s work, for shame—immediately hop over to her site and buy every book she’s ever been a part of. This beautiful N is definitely among my favorites of the guest alphabet, crafted by Louise and her handy senior-designer-sidekick John Passafiume, who currently holds the position at team LFL that I held not that long ago. I could wax on for days about how awesome Louise is, but you probably know this already, so instead I’ll leave you to gawk at this gorgeous letter.

So good! I love all the texture!
Oh mi dios!
The high expectations are always fullfilled when it comes to Louise’s designs.
Amazing!
N-aturally I love this!
Wow!!
Ridiculously awesome, of course. Also, if anyone missed it, Louise Fili on ‘from the desk of…’
wow beautiful!
wow I love this, it’s like the grosgrain ribbon hitching a ride on the magic red carpet! I also love the gorgeous Daily Drop Caps, which I discovered only recently. Blogged today using some of the letters. Jessica Hische Daily Drop Cap project ~ liberal sprinkles Thanks for the fabulous freebie, Jessica!
Seriously? Amazing. Easily my favorite thus far. Who’s next!
I was unable to comment on the M for some reason, so I chose here. I must say I’m disappointed in the guest “M” because it doesn’t really work as a drop cap when there are other letters in the image.
it is a bit out of step stylistically with the other letters in terms of how the letter is cropped, but it is a beautiful image and was afraid to crop in and lose the context. Since I wasn’t paying the guest drop-cappers I couldn’t really art direct heavily or ask for revisions, nor did I want to since I wanted to give everyone the freedom to do what they wished. Plus beggars can’t be choosers and all
Gorgeous. Having done illustration and design for almost 20 years, I’m very familiar with Louise Fili’s work and am a big fan. So nice to see her on here… love the new site design, too!
Georgeous!
