The header reads pretty much the same as before, except its handwritten. I know the standard of my handwriting is pretty similar to that of a doctor, but I really wanted to put a bit of individualism into this blog.
I've been thinking a lot about creativity recently, and if I'm going to be putting time and effort into this blog, I may as well make it reflect my personality. In the past people have mentioned that they can imagine me when reading my work (especially some of the music journalism) but I have neglected any sort of visual identity so far here.
Recently for Uni I designed a t-shirt for part of a presentation to Hampshire Fire & Rescue Service (HFRS) for a fictional PR & marketing campaign about 'Media Zombies' - people (often like I) who walk along listening to music, and sending tweets or updating statuses instead of paying attention to their road safety and surroundings.
Here is a nice photo of the finished article (with my friend Steph in the background!)
After walking round Bath on the 27th for the post-Christmas sales, I thought about how much I wanted to have my own piece of clothing, something that couldn't be brought in Topman or H&M.
I know almost nothing about making clothes (or deciding what works well together, it could be argued) but if I can get a simple design made up, I can have it printed onto a t-shirt. So that'll be something to work on next year...
Finally, I just want to take this opportunity to thank anybody who has read this blog or commented on one of the entries. I've had over 1700 views since early October, which is many more than I thought I would have received by now!
I often like to check the stats / analytics on the Blogger Dashboard, and I always feel flattered when so many people read a post, especially as some of the views are registered from foreign shores.
So, yeah, a massive thankyou to you all. There's more to come, I promise.
Paul
