That’s right, I finished as the runner up in the Yellow Jelly’s design competition with my IconEye logo. I headed down to London with Anna on Wednesday the 6th February for the opening exhibition where my work, along with 10 other entries, had submissions on display for viewing. The night was fantastic (free booze included) and I really enjoyed myself. Finishing second really came as a shock-surprise and left me feeling over the moon about it all! I won £100 worth of gift vouchers and a few cool design books (not bad at all…)

I’m also featured on a few websites. The first being IconEye.com and also Adrem Gallery - Be sure to check them both out.

It’s competition time yet again and this time it’s to design a book cover for the upcoming title ‘Crowdsourcing’ by Jeff Howe. I’m planning to submit one of my design ideas to this very soon as entries to the competition are to close on the 10th of February – not long, I know…
Howe defines Crowdsourcing as “the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent (usually an employee) and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call”.

I purchased my Nike+ kit a few months back and hardly touched it for the first month or two mainly because I was so intimidated by it and running on a treadmill (evil, evil machine) I decided to bite the bullet and enter a few small challenges with a friend. Turns out running is quite addictive, especially with the motivation of not wanting to finish last in your challenge.

Today I managed complete my very first 3 mile run outdoors – not locked away inside a gym – it was great. Running outside gives you much more freedom and room that the gym just can’t give you. On top of that, I’m also glad to report that it was much easier. In fact, I think I could have ran a further mile or so. Maybe I’ll try that next week.

First update brings some good news.

A few weeks back in 2007 I entered a design competition for Icon, to create a new logo for their website ‘ICONEYE’. Turns out I’ve been chosen and shortlisted through to the next round where my work will be exhibited at the Dreamspace gallery in London. The presentation night, which I have been invited to, is on the 6th February 08, I’m planning to get down there and check it out.

Wish me luck…
