You may have noticed a little break taken during the summer. It started as a temporary one and spread quickly to a turning off from online world as offline things took over a little. Not to delve too deep into the personal, but there were a lot of factors along with work and health that lead to a need to switch off from the community for a bit. I’ve been blessed with a lot of work recently which is not a bad thing at all but also meant this had to take priority while I gave myself some time to sort other things when not working. However, I’m getting back and the urge to do something again online is back with full gusto. I really hate having to write a sorry back now post but I guess that’s what this is really.
Coming soon to a web near you
As part of my ‘coming back’ I’ve got a completely new branding for both my company website and this blog. I’ve decided that for too long they’ve stood apart from each other and with the redesign I’m going to be merging the branding and making this blog more of a part of my company rather than a separate entity. The urls and so on won’t change it’s more a branding and design merging. I’ve run a company blog of sorts for a while but it just makes no sense any more for them to remain fragmented.
October also sees the return of Pink for October and yes this blog will be going pink again. I’ve been over the moon that despite my lack of summer presence online Mathew Oliphant has asked me again to be the designer for Pink for October and the new design for this is something I think people will find a little bit different from me with some of my usual design styles chucked in.
Coming back with force?
One of the effects of taking a break is I had to ‘turn off’ to a certain extent my brain from new ideas and designs. I was still doing client work which kept that ticking over to a certain extent but I’ve got several plans brewing that I hope will see fruition over the next coming months. I’m not making any promises beyond a redesign of Logical Binary and this blog but the others will see light of day relatively soon. I also find myself with a lot of things to say after being silent for so long online. I’ve got a lot of partial and fully written posts I’m going to start writing up and posting over the next few weeks that I even resisted posting at one point as just wanted to keep my offline status going while things were sorted.
Glad to see you out and about again mate – I look forward to seeing what you have to say over the coming weeks. Love the new Logical Binary site update btw.
It’s good to be back and on form. Hope you’re doing well too. Thanks for the compliment, it’s a bit different and still needs tweaking but getting there and struggling to grab time inbetween client work.
