“Life is Short, Art is Long….

Typography is Everything”

Design is something that surrounds all of us. It influences us in subtle ways or in loud ways. What product to buy, what store to go to, where to spend our money, what looks safe, what looks reputable, all of these decisions are wrapped up in design. Design can make our lives easier, our days brighter, our decisions clearer.

Design is important, but it is also very often overlooked.
Lets pay attention to good design and all their details.

Sara is currently employed as a designer/interactive at Scout Branding Company.

Sara absolutely loves all things interactive and web. She is deeply committed to excellence in using the latest web technology, user experience, with a focus on design. She loves to push the boundaries on web typography and see good ideas come to life. She is also an avid WordPress user and loves making sites run on the WordPress platform, while still making them look like a million bucks. Her web expertise includes: Flash, xml, html, php, and MySQL.

Sara also loves working on different print and logo projects with the rest of the Scout team. What really makes her happy is taking a newly Scout-developed brand to the Internet as it ties in the whole concept into an online presence.

Sara came to Scout in October of 2007. Originally from outside of Boston, Massachusetts, she came to the south and graduated with a BS from Samford University in Graphic Design. She is a member of the Internet Society of Alabama (IPSA), and is a founding member of the Birmingham Art Collective.

Sara has spoke at an IPSA Meeting on “Interactive Branding and Typography Tips” and as well at WordCamp Brimingham on “WordPress and Your Brand,” and more recently at WordCamp Atlanta on “WordPress and Your Brand 2010.” She also volunteers with the local AIGA Birmingham chapter, the gallery Space One Eleven, and Servants For Haiti.

In her spare time, (if she has any), Sara loves to make art and show with other community artists and write in this design and art blog sara-cannon.com.
