a map-inspired color palette

color inspiration
Written By Nikki Mihalik

Here's a sneak peek at one of the projects we've been working on this week :: an illustrated map of my old stomping grounds (Los Angeles) paired with a trio of vintage stamps.

The magnolia stamp immediately reminded me of an 80s CLASSIC, from which I steal the following quotes:

"Well, you know what they say: 'If you don't have anything nice to say...come sit by me!'"

"I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years!"

"Relax! You can't screw up her hair. Just tease it and make it look like a brown football helmet."

DARK FOREST GREEN #09302D / TEAL #089B8C / LIGHT AQUA #A6D8D1

BONE #EBDCCE / MUTED POPPY #F19D88 / POPPY #FF6945

Happy Friday!
