A Project a Week: Sneak Peek
On 01, Feb 2010 | No Comments | In Design Life, New Work, Typography | By Lorraine
A couple weeks ago, Jason Schwartz challenged me to do A Project A Week (APAW): something that I have since included in my Design Resolutions for the year. The past two weeks have been spent finishing up projects that were already in progress. This week, I hope to start working on some new work.
Week 1: Prost! Tea Towel
Week 1 was spent finishing up the embroidery work on the third tea towel in my series (see the first two here). I still need to iron it after washing before I can take better photos, but thought that I would go ahead and share the sneak peek photo. I feel like this pattern allowed me to experiment a bit more with various satin stitches. Note the Prussian Blue? I tried to make the blue/creme motif match the colors on a Meissen vase I bought during my first trip to Germany.
Week 2: Behance Page
This past week I worked on slowly migrating my AIGA portfolio over to Behance. I must say that I’m rather impressed with all of the customization options that Behance offers. I’m not quite finished uploading everything, but will slowly make more projects public as I finish the descriptions. You can view my page either by clicking on the badge to the right or by going here. Any one else on Behance? I haven’t had time to look around for other people…
What’s Next for APAW?
This week I plan on creating some goodies to share: watch for them to be posted this coming weekend.

Oooh, “Prost!” looks great! Thanks for the sneak peak.
Ich mag es, dass die Farbe definitiv deutsch sind!I haven’t used Behance, but I checked it out after you tweeted about it. I noticed that they have a productivity app for the iPhone, so of course I downloaded it. I haven’t played with it yet, but I am going to this week. I’ll let you know what I think. Have you tried it?

I hadn’t tried it yet, but saw the link and just now read up on it. It sounds pretty similar to one of the apps that I downloaded last year, but think I’ll try it out too this week. Might be better designed: the last one is kind of hard to check things off your list.
Und es freut mich, dass du Prost! mag.
