I hope everyone’s had an awesome Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year. In 2010 I plan to set myself a design challenge. I indent to design a piece of work everyday of 2010. I’m really looking forward to doing this and I’ve seen some brilliant examples of people that have done it on Smashing Magazine .
There are a number of things I could theme my creations around. I think I’m either going to set myself a theme every month and design something daily around that months theme. Another option is to just create something randomly, or something inspired by an event that’s taken place that day. There are many options and this is something I need to work out in the next couple of days.
At work Luke (he still needs to get his website finished) is doing the same challenge which is really reassuring because we can both motivate each other into getting something done everyday!
My 2009
I’ve had an amazing 2009 and I’m really looking forward to a better 2010! This year I got made permanent at twentysix and love my job. Another huge thing (which was a life long ambition) was winning an FWA on Christmas Day for our twentysix Christmas project : Christmas Tweets – Christmas Tweets was a project Will Jones came up with and Art Directed and it was awesome to all pull our skills together to create this project which gained a brilliant response from the creative world! The outcomes have been really interested and it’s be rewarding to see the positive comments and twitters from everyone.
2010
1) I want to increase my design skill set,
2) I’d like to do more personal animations (which I could tie in with the design a day challenge)
3) I’d love to get into Computer Arts
4) Get a website and blog design finished – One that I’m happy with at least
5) Stick to the design a day resolution
That’s all for now!
oh actually…if you’re Russian and keep posting comments advertising rubbish…please stop! It’s boring me having to go through them all and mark them as Spam! Thank you!
Since Sunday myself and two others have been working on a viral experiment using Twitter and a holding page which are both connected to a popular TV program! I’ll write up our findings in the next few weeks! But at the moment it seem to be going quite well and we have a following of 181 users and a website that’s had over 300 page views…our findings so far have been very interesting and quite fun
