designswarm thoughts

It’s a well known fact I have way too many Stickies which over the weekend I managed to reduce to 15 (i think i had at least double that) and found this lovely list of vegetables with the wittiest names.
Since I can always use a bit of typeface practice, I thought I’d do something more interesting that make a ta-da list out of it.

From Stamen design.

So I’ve been thinking of redesigning my website to cater more to my freelancing career and thought I’d post this up to see what people thought. Basically I’m trying to make it more “swarmy” and this just might be the incentive I need to learn Flash (the oh so dreaded and essential tool in my field). I thought it might be nice to have different views: client, type of work, as a way to build a kind of “tag cloud” of activities so that people would have an idea of the type of work I get involved in (a lot of different things) and where my interests lie.

I have been traveling quite a lot in my life and i think that i will work on illustrating my travels in different ways. One must note that I am only including my moves and not my touristic traveling. So as I leave Amsterdam tomorrow, this will be my 14th move… ouch…

So this is example one… too stale, this might be the perfect excuse to hack a Google map!

I love the mixture here, a plain piece of paper made into a sculpture, beautifully photographed… so sexy.
