I went to Astonish Designs this week, and Tim wasn’t there, being sick. Unfortunately, he left for a business trip the following day, and I wasn’t able to meet with him for the rest of the week.
I did, however, talk to the designer about a new project I’m working on—stevencampbell.org—and asked him to critique my design. He didn’t have much to say (I suppose that’s good!), and so I just worked on a couple of things. We talked a lot about news in the industry of web development and design, the differences between Drupal and WordPress, and the declining usage of Internet Explorer (also a great thing!).
Mostly we talked. I worked on the design for SC.org for a bit after that, and then went home. I’m considering changing my product from the photo contest benefiting the Nobelity Project to this personal website, stevencampbell.org. I think, first of all, it’s an easier start.
Also this week I sent several emails to people needing designers using builditwith.me, a community designed to connect developers who need designers and vice-versa. Currently I’m corresponding with developers all over the world—Croatia, England, New Zealand, Toronto, Portland—and starting to help them with their projects.
Most of the projects on Build It With Me offer 50% equity, meaning that if any of the projects I’m working on with these people get big, I may end up with some money. Nice!
