My pledge, to try not to forget, to create one design per week day for one full year.

Break

Unfortunately I wont be able to post for the next couple of days. I will try to create something everyday, but I'll have to post it all in one go when I get back. :(

13 - Ice and Snow


Our trip to the shops ended as soon as we reached the car. To best describe "Why?", here's a little illustration.

Of course, it's just a cross section of what we found ;) If I were to illustrate what we saw, then you'd be looking at a white blob.

Between the snow and the car there was a layer of ice. Like a mould of our little 206. To get in, I had to chip away the outline of the door.

11 - Dead Man Walking



I'm 4 posts behind and am having trouble finding ideas. I came up with this one a long time ago, but never found a purpose for it. While in the car I saw people walking across one of my home town's busiest streets. The only problem was that they didn't use the zebra crossings which are placed at regular intervals.


The application of the idea may not be what I'd had "envisioned" but I'm not gonna spend a whole day on it. Maybe some other time. (...and when/if that happens I wont be using stock images ;)

10 - Paul Rand - "Design is everything. Everything!"


As the current trend goes - "If you don't have an idea, find a quote and make a poster". So, here's one from one of the greatest designers ever, Paul Rand.

9 - Tea (on tour via iPhone)


Original post: "We're on our way to Warsaw. The only piece of "equipment" that could possibly help me create a design is an iPhone. I'm not sure how this will turn out, but I'm going to treat this more as an experiment if anything".

Extra stuff: I'm back at home. The post above is to say the least, terrible :D The original photo looked better than this "attempt". Also, I spent two days trying to post this on blogspot. Of course, I used every trick in the book to try and fool blogspot, gmail and the iPhone into sending an attachment, but it turned out I was the bigger fool ;) All I had to do was ask the owner of the iPhone, my wife, how to send a photo via email. Long story short... I'm an idiot.

Today, I have to do two designs, since I'm one behind. I gave up trying to do anything on the iPhone while I was away.
