Let’s just say… you have been warned.

Tonight I went and saw Stefan Sagmeister do this talk on happiness. I have seen him talk a bunch of times on happiness, but only through videos online. Even though his content was pretty much the same… it was what happened after the show that was the most magical.
But first, on with the show. Well, let me back up… I have been a fan of Stefan for a very very long time. I am semi obsessed with album art and Lou Reed, and when I learned he did art work for Lou Reed back in in 1996, I was instantly hooked. The album was full of handwritten typography that I could just not get enough of. So, it was really cool getting to meet someone whose work you have been paying attention to for years.

Holy shit. It’s only Tuesday? That means three more days of feeling the way I am feeling right now (enlightened, exhausted and excited… all at once)? THE THREE E’S? I’M IN! *thumbs up!*
I did not even tweet during this event, because I was so fixated on every word the panel was saying. I, however, filled my notebook with quotes after quotes after quotes. Which I am going to share with you!

Whoa. Today was a busy day! THREE events! I am feeling a bit tired, but am excited to share with you my day… and what an eye opening, shift thinking, type of day it was!
I got a little lost finding the place and while I was struggling looking at my map, someone comes up to me and asks “are you looking for The Metropolitan Group?”. I was so thankful she spoke up, because we quickly found where we needed to go. Once we got to our final destination, the desk asked us our names and I said “Jehn Glynn, G-L-Y-N-N”. And the girl who I met outside looked at me and goes “So, this might be creepy, but my name is Kristen & I follow you on twitter. I participated in your #heyjehnlook project on your last typography video!” I wanted to give her a hug. She was the first person, who wasn’t in my family, who participated in that project and it really meant a lot to me. Right after Kristen and I finished gushing and laughing about meeting twitter friends in real life, some guy says “not to add to the creepiness… but I am the voice behind DWPDX. You sent me the direct message yesterday and we communicated,” So funny! Met two twitter friends today! I knew after that, i was ready to take on the day!

I have been to dig a pony a time or two and those times were mainly in the evening.
I forget how pretty it is in here during the day. Portland businesses really pay special attention to the details in their branding, it is one of the many reasons I love it here & this place is no exception.
If you have the chance, I recommend coming to this place while the sun is still out.
I am so excited to launch my new website. This new site, to me, is symbolic of a new chapter for me in my life and it feels really cool and important. This video was really fun and enjoyable for me to make – I did not have any plan for the header, so you got to see a little bit of what my creative process can look like. Each project is different for me, in terms of my creative process. I plan on making more videos like this – so stay tuned for those!
You are all amazing and don’t forget that it is okay to believe in yourself! YOU are worth it!
Hello!
I love a good type treatment, don’t you? This video was fun for me to film and I cannot wait to film another neighborhood! I have more clips from Alberta street that I want to share with you, that will come in another video – so keep an eye out for that!
Please send me your found typography inspiration photos to me, using the hashtag #HeyJehnLook on Twitter or Instagram, and your photo just might be featured in my next Typography Inspiration video!
Also, if you liked the music in the video – you can download it here!
This week I filmed my monthly favorites video. I am very excited about this series. Ever since I decided to vlog instead of blog, my life has changed. Blogging has always been difficult for me, for many reasons. I am finding stride with these videos and seeing actual possibilities. Especially in terms of sharing what I know and connecting with others than I can learn from. Moral of the story? Don’t give up. Keep trying things until you find what works for YOU. Leave the trends behind. Be yourself. Stay true to what makes YOUR soul sing.
I went to California last week, with my brother, to surprise our sister. It was awesome to spend quality time with the family and to just take a bit of a breather from the day to day grind. While I was there, I really enjoyed the downtown Morro Bay area and found the typography inspiring. I love how every place you visit, you will notice, that the typography is very reflective of the area you are in. I really enjoyed filming and editing this video. I hope you enjoy it!
