Graphic designer Leila Register’s interest in mundane, everyday objects contradicts her wonderfully playful and lively designs. Following a very unique pathway, it was through her job as a barista that Leila first began her journey as a graphic designer.

LOCAL FARMING&nbsp;&nbsp; where she finds her inspiration, Atlanta-based designer Leila Register tells us that she’s “currently inspired by objects that are totally ordinary and non-descript”. But, despite being enamoured with objects as seemingly uninteresting as an intake form at a doctors’ office, a classified ad in a newspaper, or an old receipt, Leila’s work is far from boring. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Full of inviting colours, playfully abstract shapes and striking type designs, her work is lively, fun and full of personality.&nbsp;&nbsp; What most draws Leila to such mundane objects is how “there are familiar things to everyone and yet we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how they look”. Expanding on this thinking, Leila explains that “I spend most of my days thinking about and working on the visual design of things, so I think there’s something almost refreshing to me about something with no ostensible style”. A great example of this philosophy, Leila tells us, is Crystal Zapata’s (one of her favourite designers) invitation to an art opening at the MCA which used a parking ticket as the backdrop for the invitation and stylised the event details to match a parking ticket font. “I’m really into that”, Leila says, “I like the

When discussing where she finds her inspiration, Atlanta-based designer Leila Register tells us that she’s “currently inspired by objects that are totally ordinary and non-descript”. But, despite being enamoured with objects as seemingly uninteresting as an intake form at a doctors’ office, a classified ad in a newspaper, or an old receipt, Leila’s work is far from boring. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Full of inviting colours, playfully abstract shapes and striking type designs, her work is lively, fun and full of personality.&nbsp;&nbsp; WHY THIS INVESTMENT?&nbsp;&nbsp; Leila to such mundane objects is how “there are familiar things to everyone and yet we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about how they look”. Expanding on this thinking, Leila explains that “I spend most of my days thinking about and working on the visual design of things, so I think there’s something almost refreshing to me about something with no ostensible style”. A great example of this philosophy, Leila tells us, is Crystal Zapata’s (one of her favourite designers) invitation to an art opening at the MCA which used a parking ticket as the backdrop for the invitation and stylised the event details to match a parking ticket font. “I’m really into that”, Leila says, “I like the idea of forcing yourself to visually adapt to a piece of paper you find on the street.”&nbsp;&nbsp; Adapting is also something that seems to come naturally to Leila. Studying film at undergrad, Leila often found herself working on design elements, making posters and working on title treatment for friends films. Explaining that she “never felt comfortable behind a camera” Leila says that “working on the auxiliary – albeit still important – elements of a film felt like a good way to develop my visual voice”. Absurdly, it wasn’t until Leila got a job as a barista in a restaurant that her design pathway really began.
