I have just realized that I posted the WRONG bookmark on the wrong day, meaning this one is actually labeled, Number 19 though I’m posting it on today, the 20th. I was inspired to design this one after attending a recent literary event where several authors were discussing their enjoyment of reading! I TOO love to read, and write, and design and market. . . ok, I’ll stop.

This particular bookmark was designed with another one of those FREE textures I discussed last night, with a burgandy color overlay later and some simple photoshop shapes. Nothing very fancy. The font is one of my current favorites, “Windsong” from Dafont.com.

Enjoy! Download it here.

Smashing Magazine issued a challenge to designers for the new year, and I’m on board! I tried to decide what type of design I’d want to do and could stretch my boundaries as a designer. So in answer to this Challenge, I will be designing and posting a new Bookmark design each day on this blog. The Designs will link to a downloadable PDF that you can feel free to download, print out and share as desired.
