The One Lovely Blog Award: We were nominated!
2/09/2016
Last week, we were nominated for "The One Lovely Blog Award". Pretty big deal for us! A huge THANK YOU goes out to Charity Rowell-Stansbury for nominating us! Go check out her blog: "ON MY KINDLE".
As per the rules of receiving this nomination, we will now state 7 random facts about ourselves and nominate 7 blogs.
1. Some people have "viewing parties" for their favorite TV Show, we have "reading parties". Ok, not so much parties (cause it's just the two of us) but there are books we would have never read without each other, because some of the best conversations we've ever had were about books, so now we do it on purpose. We call it our VIP book club. Some titles include: The Hunger Games (trilogy), Divergent (trilogy), Daughter of Smoke & Bone (trilogy), The Others (series) and Ready Player One.
2. We live in different countries now and have been apart for over 3 years (Miss Phi lives in Mexico and Gphx Geek in the U.S). Somehow we have managed to not only keep our friendship but continue to grow together and make it stronger.
3. We aren't only best friends, but also colleagues, co-workers and business partners. In fact, the reason we are even friends to begin with is because we make a really good team. We work together on freelance design projects under the name Cyan & Magenta: Visual Information Design.
4. We are gamers and love playing video games together. We miss "Couch co-op Fridays"! Some of our fave titles (that we've played together) include: Tomb Raider (Legend, Underworld, Survivor and can't wait to play Rise of the Tomb Raider), Fable (all), Resident Evil (4, 5 & 6) and Dance Central (1, 2 & 3).
5. We are highly sensitive towards animals (snakes and frogs only okay from very very far away, though). In fact, watching any movie with a dog in it is incredibly stressful for us. The fear that the dog might die is real! Confession: We cried during "Bolt". We both have dogs (Miss Phi has a schnauzer named Bruno and Gphx Geek a hound mix named Mason) and they mean everything to us.
6. We both really enjoy combining our love for design with the rest of our interests. This blog is a great example of that. We also love creating things for or inspired by: games, TV shows, music and movies. In fact, recently we were commissioned to create an emblem design for a player-organization on Star Citizen.
7. We love the Zombie genre (books, graphic novels, games, tv and movies) and we are pretty sure we could survive the zombie apocalypse, as long as Gphx Geek is in charge of the sniper and Miss Phi has the machine gun.
Some of these aren't super new blogs, but we'll nominate them anyway, because we found something special about them and think they should be featured:
Read you soon,

Thank you very much for the nomination, as my blog is only a little over a month old, it is extremely humbling that you found me and nominated me. Thank you so much, you have given me a lot of motivations to continue to write!
