The Graphic Design Group Writing Project by Jacob Cass at JustCreativeDesign has ended and has amassed 24 great graphic design articles. A random draw has been made and luckily I won one of the prizes.

Audee of Graphic-Identity has organized these articles per category on her blog, from Tips to Tutorials to Design Resources. Check it out and maybe you’ll find something interesting and maybe bookmark or subscribe to them.

Big thanks to Jacob for making this project possible, To the readers and other designers, thanks, and congratulations to all the winners. I can’t wait for the next group writing project, I’ll be sure to enter again.

As you may have noticed I’ve modified some parts of my blog and decided to tidy things up a bit as I think it’s lacking personality. With a little help from my PHP guru friend, I decided to make some tweaking to wpdesigner’s Lust Theme.

Looking at my blog theme layout, I think it could use a little small modifications. I can say that It says less of who I am and what I’m doing, the sidebar is kind of messy and the font size just doesn’t fit my personality, I’m more of a minimalist type. I also removed the title as I think the banner and the header part seems occupying much of the upper part. I also made subscription options prominent(I guess) as stated by Copyblogger. I also added some icons and will continue to add some more. I did some modifications for the comments and the entry as well.

So what do you think of the new layout?

It’s really hard to write something especially when you’re working fulltime at the office. Even though you the have passion to do it, you only have little time to create new stuff. ah…so many things to do, so little time.

I can still remember those days of working outside the box…freedom. I can do thrice or more than what I can do right now, I can continue to post more, create more freebies, learn new stuff like PHP, continue my studies in Maya and After Effects. Having so many things done at work I wasn’t able to follow my routine of having to posts new stuff every 2 to 3 on a weekly basis. sigh!

Anyways I’ll try to post some more, so keep checking back. I’ve been writing a variety of tutorials as promised, I’ll share it once I got time and get things organized.
