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.

PPP Portfolio and Golden Studio interview

Image
Last week I received a DM from a lady called Catherine from Leeds based studio Golden (@togetherwearegolden), to say some representatives had attended our Out of Context exhibition for the COP practical work. This was the first I had heard of the studio as was a very affirming message to receive. She asked for my portfolio which of course instantly inspired panic as I didn't have one at all but I said I was updating it and would send it over asap. This was, of course, perfect timing due to the upcoming portfolio crit that happened yesterday and allowed me to get it all sorted way before the Tuesday. Golden replied via email a day after I submitted last Thursday to say they would like me to come in for an interview, which I attended this Monday just gone... a quick turn around. The interview itself went okay, I felt like the two representatives liked my work and thought my type was engaging and interesting. However, I fully didn't know how the practicalities of their studio work...

36 days of type bonus - &

Image
As a quarantine bonus the organisers have added an extra character to symbolise togetherness. With lots of stuff on I didn't have much time to produce this surprise edition so I just did some quick research confirming the etymology the ampersand before getting sketching with a 6mm pen. "& is for ampersand - a quick entry for the bonus round. Originally the 27th letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from the ‘et’ ligature used in cursive writing"

@36daysoftype - project round up and evaluation

Image
@solchadwick By today we had to submit a summary of our 36 characters from start to finish. My set was eclectic and colourful as I had set out for with an interesting set of visual trends that picked up intermittently throughout either through unconscious design or coincidence. I displayed the full 36 on one tile, then a spelt out message 'THANK YOU 36 D.O.T" and then my top 3 most liked posts. Coincidentally 2 of the 3 top liked came from the set of number, maybe a reflection of my growing confidence, experimentation and time committed as the project progressed.  I think my response did certainly increase in complexity as the days passed and there were certainly some lulls in the middle as it became tricky to maintain a certain standard. I also found that attaching the letterforms to certain artists or movement and then tagging said artist/movement helped to generate likes from non-followers. I certainly found myself becoming increasingly immersed in the production of each ...
