update and making of #26daysoffoodtype

Hey guys!
In case you didn't notice, I was in silence on the blog for the past weeks... well, over a month I'd say.
Towards the end of the #26daysoffoodtype project I got really tired and though I had plans of sharing more about it I just couldn't.
Right after finishing the project I took a small yet very well deserved vacation to meet and explore the wonderful Madrid.
When I got back I didn't really know what to talk about so I just ended up doing other stuff instead.
One of the goals I had set myself for may was redesigning my website. I'm very happy with how it turned out and you can check it here, I'd love to have your feedback on it.
And just before the end of the month I finally got around to edit the fottage I made while #26daysoffoodtype was happening.

I'm really liking this filming and editing thing, if you have any video ideas please drop me a line.
Also you can expect a video from my trip to Madrid, I'm committing to it right now! But at the rate I'm going I'll probably only get to it in a month or so.
I guess this is all for now, I hope you had a great month.

My top 5 alphabets from #36daysoftype

Hello!
My 26 days of food type project has been going on for 17 days, which means there is only 9 more to go.
And let me let you, between pies, icecreams, nutella and guacamole, I've been eating a lot in the last days. Couldn't let it all fo to waste, right?

Anyway, the 36daysoftype still has a lot of days ahead so I'd like to share with you the top 5 alphabets I've been following. Maybe you don't know them already and end up liking them too.
As I've told you before, there is a big amount of great ideas so it was quite hard to decide my top 5.
Check them out by clicking the images.

ABZZZZ - book review

Quando soube que o Planeta Tangerina ia lançar um livro sobre o alfabeto, fiquei imediatamente alerta, afina é a junção de duas coisas que adoro: Letras e os livros da Planeta.

Assim que o encontrei à venda comprei-o. Não tive muito tempo para o folhear na livraria mas também não era necessário, sabia que ia ser uma óptima compra.

O ABZZZZ junta ao abecedário e à ilustração outra coisa de que gosto muito... dormir. É um livro que se prontifica a ajudar o leitor a adormecer "muito antes de o abecedário chegar ao fim".


When I found out that Planeta Tangerina was going to launch a book about the alphabet I was immediately interested. It's the combination of two things I love: Letters and the books from Planeta Tangerina.
I bought it as soon as it hit the stores. I didn't have much time to browse the book before buying it but there was no need to, I already knew it was going to be an excellent buy.
In ABZZZZ there's illustration, there's letters and there's also one other thing I like a lot: sleeping. It's a book that tries to help the reader fall asleep "long before the alphabet is over".

 

 

Para mim, o mais impressionante de ABZZZZ foi a forma como a Yara conseguiu criar uma harmonia em cada spread apesar de em cada págia se tratar de uma letra diferente e muitas vezes com temas bastante distintos.

To me, the most amazing thing in ABZZZZ was Yara's ability to create this harmony in each spread even if each page is about a different letter and the themes are often quite distincts.

Se, como eu, são fãs do Planeta Tangerina, vão gostar de certeza.

Um óptimo livro para uma tarde chuvosa de domingo.

If you're a Planeta Tangerina fan like I am you'll definitely like this book.
A great book for a rainy sunday afternoon.
