Bit slow of me posting this in 2008, but wanted to show them :)
I won the competition for my design to be used as the school Christmas card at my infant school when I was seven (back in 1988 scary eh) and had them reprinted this year as my Christmas cards to send out :)
Thanks to Karen over at Entwistle for the insanely fast turn around (left it a bit late!).
Was a great bit of news in 2007 when I first became aware that this site would be included in the web index book, up there with pretty much all my favourite websites and designers.
About the book:
The by Content series is the newer spin off series of books from the successful Web Index series published by the Pepin Press / Agile Rabbit Editions. The by Content book groups sites across a number of categories from blogs (scrapbook.sreski) to design & illustration, art, food, fashion, photography etc. The web design indexes are international best-sellers, with about a quarter of a million copies sold worldwide.
Which is nice :)
Well a year on, scary stuff. Well it’s been a challenging year :D But it’s been a good one, where I managed to do all three things I wanted, go freelance or find a new job and move somewhere groovy and easy to work from.
Left my job.
For a thousand small reasons back in April.
Went freelance successfully.
Working out well, it’s a big change but great fun.
Moved to a shiny lil apartment in Manchester.
Only just managed to sneak the move in December though, but it still counts ;)
A huge thanks to everyone who has helped and been supportive in my first year of freelance, and 2008 looks set to keep getting better. Hmm other news, this blog has been featured in the book Web Design Index by Content 3, which is very brilliant :D Will post some pictures up later this week.
Hi all, another delay in posting! I moved early in December and only just got internet back.
This was my winning entry to DT’s first poster competition. Was a fun little competition, you can see the other entries here, there were some great posters entered, my favourite was Emil’s.
With the move I’ve missed the second competition but hopefully will find time to enter the next :)
Have a bits of news and shinies over the coming few weeks so check back soon!
Mark.
