A Quick Update

By Tara: Freelance Designer | Published: May 23, 2007

Its all gone completely mad over here but I guess that’s just what it means to be a freelancer. I have been designing brochures and folder options in record time, and then an urgent logo design followed too. I have stacks more work to follow too, I thought I’d just take a quick breather to write this while I am waiting for a logo to arrive by email. Do you remember David’s post does blogging interfere with your day job? I can truly say my day job is interfering with my blogging :) .

Graphic Design Bloopers Competition
I haven’t forgotten, I will make a post soon with the graphic design bloopers competition entries and pick a winner, thanks to all who entered

The Design Experiment – Do Designers think Alike
If anyone has time, please have a go at the “do designers think alike experiment” – for May 29th (Tuesday next week).

Other Stuff
I am trying to redesign my blog in my spare time and have been having a dabble with CSS Edit, so will give it a quick review when I have experimented a bit more, but so far all I can say is Wow.

Your ideas and opinions
I have a list of articles to write, but if anyone else has suggestions for design related subjects they would like to read about, I would love to hear them. Just drop me a line on my contact page.

Guest Authors Welcome
I really enjoyed reading Lauren’s guest post, if anyone else would like to be a guest author, please get in touch on my contact page too. I would be especially interested in hearing from anyone who has moved from print to web (purely for selfish reasons :) ) or from web to print, and the difficulties you experienced.

Better get going now and see if that logo has arrived yet…

    Good luck with it all! You should only complain when there’s *no* work coming in by the way… ;)

    I hate you for being able to use CSSEdit. Do you know something? That was one of the reasons I wrote down for not buying another PC when my old one died… But the PC pros outweighed the cons in the end!

    Hi Paul,

    I am not really complaining. :)

    CSS looks amazing good. I was messing about with it again last night

    Hi Tara
    I feel like it’s all turning into a bit of a blur really. When I have a pile of work I want to blog and when I have time to blog I feel like doing something else. Must focus!
    Enjoying your blog.

    All the best
    Jennifer
