PPP Planning session

Video from the CEO of Skillshare: 

  • 3x3x3 method = 3 priorities for the day, 3 priorities for the week, 3 wins for the week 
  • Set large yearly goals that are reviewed quarterly  
  • Develop positive new habits one at a time 
  • Don't try and change things overnight
  • Prioritise tasks by their individual worth to you or your project, work from the most important tasks to least. 
  • Plan > Do > Evaluate


Pomodoro technique: 

Work in 25-minute bursts, followed by a 5-minute break,
Each fourth cycle, take a 15-minute break
Try chrome extension Marinara

Eat the Frog: 

Start the day with your most daunting task
Give it 100% of your focus until it's complete

Get Things Done:

Organise tasks into 'next action', 'someday maybe' and 'waiting for'
Helping with prioritisation and workflow.



Annual goals:

By Christmas finish COP and COP practical to a standard where I feel the topic has been fully explored and I have some valuable work for the industry.

By May finish studio and PPP to a point where I feel a range of collaborations and technical possibilities have been explored and build my social presence to a point where professional clients and collaborations are more plentiful.

Complete 3-6 projects in collaboration with designers I admire before 22nd October 2020

Create a personal type foundry via either a physical or digital medium by May.

Fashioning the industry - Rob Boyd

Image
A couple of weeks ago I emailed a portfolio to Rob Boyd as a reply to an open call for type orientated graphic designers. It was a nice affirmation for him to ask for one based on my Instagram profile but I haven't heard back from him so I'm assuming he wasn't interested as he knows were to find me. Rob is a fashion designer with a passion for technical wear, I have been following him for a while and free like I could provide some interesting designs for his specific industry. He was asking for logotype work for 'soar' a running brand for whom he is the chief designer. With this in mind, I compiled a custom portfolio to send to him with a rethink of a tiny personal brief that I did over summer for my dads running club. This practice in tailoring a portfolio for a very specific industry is a useful development for me and hopefully, I will be in his mind a tiny bit even if my work wasn't right for the call in question. Here are some Instagram screenshots and t

36 days of type - 9 FIN

This is now the 36th day that I've woken up and been filled with dread and excitement as I scrambled around for research and prepared a response for 36 days of type. Today was the turn of the number 9 which I would ordinarily form by flipping a 6 and performing some minor adjustments but today, of course, I had to go out on a solid level and make sure the quality (which I think has been exceptional throughout the numbers) doesn't drop. This thought, however, can put a lot of pressure on and today, like any other, I felt at times that the number was largely shit. I was a little worried about my choice of number as it dates back to a similar era as most of the letters but I think the style itself has such strong connotations of an era Scifi era that its pretty transient across time. Time, however, was the reason that linked Futurism to the number 9 as I found out the movement was conceived in 1909. Credited to an Italian poet called Filippo Tommaso Marinetti who released his Ma
