typeface love tuesday: aleo

Hello there! I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday.

Lately I've found myself using the typeface Aleo quite a bit in my designs. I has a very retro modern feel to me with its slab serif structure and semi-rounded details. It's bold and sleek with great readability.




The Aleo font family was release under the SIL Open Font License so it is available for free for both personal and commercial use! You can download it here.

apple iphone 6 case review & $25 zazzle gift certificate giveaway-CLOSED

Hello there! I hope you are having a fabulous day.

I recently got back from vacation (a post on my vacation to follow soon!) and an iPhone 6 case from my shop on Zazzle was waiting for me when I arrived home! Since I am kind of accident prone, I decided on the Tough Xtreme case for it's added protections, particularly the bumper around the case.


The printing of my design on the case is beautiful and vibrant, and I even personalized my design by adding the company logo for The Spotted Olive™. As a designer, I love seeing my designs in person on quality products and it's especially nice when they are reproduced as envisioned.


The case has a rubberized liner backing (DouFlex) on the inside for the phone to rest on, a built-in plastic screen protector and the bumper around the case is hefty with accessibility to all ports. 


I love it. It's a beautiful accessory with a good amount of protection for the phone which is very important to me. 

Speaking of iPhone 6 protection, here's a cute little video from Zazzle. Remember it's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your iPhone 6!



The recent Apple iPhone 6 launch on September 19th broke previous records with over 10 million sold within three days after the launch. I know many people who have already upgraded or will soon. And with the holidays right around the corner, an iPhone 6 case would be the perfect gift! You can shop for iPhone 6 cases at The Spotted Olive™ on Zazzle or for even more variety in design choices, the Zazzle marketplace.
