New year, new blog

That's right people, I have succumbed to the commercial blog! Oh, woe is me!!! But seriously, I really wasn't maintaining the one I set up, my own laziness at fault more than any excuse I could try and come up with! But here we are, at least I'm still doing something huh? I have however c&p-ed the posts from the other blog, just to prove I HAD actually done something on it!

So onto work news, I'm currently in the process of (almost finished) a logo for ruby star creative, and even if I do say so myself, it is AWESOME!!! Most of the type is completely hand drawn (I do love Illustrator!) and of course the client has gone for PMS 485, the bright red that such companies as coca cola use...you'll see it soon enough, almost have approval! But yes, very excited about that!!!

I've had some set backs too though. Two Savvy fell through, apparently the two partners had too many differences, so even though I sweated over 3 fantastic logo ideas for them, they decided not to start the business :( win some lose some I guess. I've also now experienced my first client that decided to disappear when it came around to paying me time...yay.

As to the small amount of non design related things I'm interested in, I've made some new friends, which is always nice. Had a college reunion last week, where we all got rained on while we drank ridiculously expensive alcohol, and I went to the beach last week for the first time in four years! Yes, I did get burnt, but I had fun and I'm glad I took advantage of the nice weather we had before this constant rain started...not that I'm complaining, we really do need it, and it means it's not too big a deal if I forget to water the plants!

Right, well it seems InDesign has stopped having a tantrum, so back to it!

Bises a tous, ciao

PS. Happy New Year all and gong xi fa cai!
