February Schedule
Well I did actually like the whole documenting what was on the table to be completed during any particular month it did actually keep my mind focused on the task at hand.
So recapping January I didn't complete everything I had on that list of things to do, the main one was Shuttle. My intentions were very good however I got sucked into sorting out my book and that honestly did take a great deal longer than I originally anticipated. I did however sort out a couple of things that have been lingering over my head for a very good long while, mainly my logo and the associated business cards which I've also sorted (more about the business cards and online printers in an upcoming mammoth post).
So looking forward into February I forsee a great deal of Photoshop action ahead of me.
- Operation: Borg - I've got the pages I need to mockup for this clear in my head. I had a massive moment of inspiration on Wednesday last week regarding the future of this project, and needless to say I am absolutely buzzing about the possiblities that this will no doubt provide. I'm glad that Snookie is feeling the excitement again, but at this stage it's really up to me to provide him with the goods, so to speak.
- Shuttle - We're so close I can actually smell it. Last month we had some very good progress in general and after something stupid like 20 mockups we're all happy with what the login page will look like. The Dashboard is getting there although that is one of those pages that might not end up exactly like we want it but then again that's cool, graphically it will be the part whatever stays or leaves. Time to concentrate on the rest of the aspects of the programme. I do actually intend to finish this off this month. I don't have anything as time consuming as putting a 300 page book together so I should be able to keep my word.
- Broken Kode Version 5 - I've actually started mocking this up. Most things are starting to fall into place, however I am actually stuck as to how I'm going to do a couple of things. Not so much stuck, because I'm sure that they can be done, it's just the fact that I don't know how to do them myself. Soo if I know you and you're a 'presser of much programming-fu-knowledge, you're going to definitely get an email from me, consider yourself warned :).
- Inksmith - I've got a couple of things to get sorted for Inksmith this month. It's not a lot but it will get the ball rolling on this little project that will expand in due course I am convinced. So hopefully we should have an announcement of some description by the end of the month.
- MA - I've promised Stathis that I'd complete the design for his website very soon. Going through his archives it's amazing to realise that he's been blogging for 6 months now and doesn't show any signs of stopping anytime soon, which is great. I'm a big fan of his work, although I don't generally read it online since I feel that his work has to be read on dead tree. So hopefully sometime this year we can sort that out for him. Regarding the style of his site, I've got a very clear view in my mind of what it's going to eventually look like, which is completely different to anything I've done before. Of course it will have drawings in it, but not what you'd expect.
- Priya - Again another site that I promised I'd sort out. This is for a fashion designer friend of mine. It's going to be very ethnic and I can't wait to get on with it since this has been on the table for a good long while. I just need to get a slew of photos from her and I should be away.
So it seems there's a good deal of photoshop going on this month and lots of coding towards the end of the month. I can live with that.
