Back on Wordpress. It’s been a few years and many attempts to revitalise my blog, but I’ve decided to move back to Wordpress. The ease of posting from any device using apps has trumped everything else. Things will be a bit rough over the next few days and weeks as I get old posts back but stay tuned for more.
This mornings coffee is brought to you by the ends of two different bags… I call it frankenfilter… ☕️
My use of Threads has dropped dramatically this week, it’s become really clear that all I want is them to enable Activity Pub so that I can follow a few friends from Micro.blog or Mastodon.
As much as it pains me to say this. Bard is proving to be better for me than ChatGTP lately and it’s all because of one thing. It looks at the internet.
A night of natural wine tasting with these two 🍷
I love seeing behind the scenes look at new logos for things that have been around a while. Really like the new Thunderbird logo.
Creative process in three words or less
Just saw a a post on Threads from Figma… describe your creative process in three words or less.
My attempt: Steal, splice, iterate.
Maybe I should elaborate?
Steal: Be inspired. Steal ideas from others, but also from your past. At the start, or even in the middle of, a project I tend to ask myself two questions. Have I solved a similar problem in the past and has someone else solved it? If the answer to either of those questions is yes or maybe, then I look at those projects through he lens of the one I’m working on.
Splice: This is where I take what I’ve discovered when looking back at what has been done before and splice in new thoughts and ideas.
Iterate: This is pretty self explanatory, but essentially I spend the rest of the time repeating the process until I come to a point where I have something that is hitting the problem head on and the design is coming to a resolution.
Starting to think I want a smaller bag for than my back pack. Want one that’s comfortable to wear, can fit my iPad Pro 11 inch and a general assortment of “stuff” like inhaler, phone, and keys… any recommendations out there?
Plus these two that are going to a local coffee shop for them to cup.
I’ve got some seriously good coffees in the house at the moment… the red bourbon is especially 😚👌🏻 ☕️
