Helen DeMuth has spent the last four years developing and honing her design skills. She has found herself a love of great typography and bold design. Helen enjoys the risks and rewards associated with developing design and creating art. In addition to her love of graphic design, she also has an intense love for movies, photography, good jokes, and rockin’ concerts. This calendar serves as an experimentation of using typography,
