After about a year of waiting, this week I got the ultimate Christmas
present when I received my invite to be a player and upload my work on
to Dribbble.
For those who don't know, Dribbble is a show and tell
site for designers where you can upload snapshots of your work for the
world to see. You can register to view the other designers work whenever
you wish, but it isn't until you receive an invite from another
'player' that can you start uploading your own work.
I
first found out about Dribbble about a year ago, when a friend
mentioned the site as something I could be interested in. I looked into
it and was instantly in awe of all the amazing talent on there and I
knew it was something I wanted to get involved with.
It took me
quite a few months to get my invite, but even without it I found the
site simply amazing and such an inspiring resource.
You can see my Dribbble home page
here.
For
me this rounds off a brilliant year. I haven't been able to do as much
drawing as I would have liked, but this is due to me being kept busy
with my freelance design, which is obviously a great situation to be in.
I
have been fortunate to have worked with some outstanding agencies on
some very prestigious brands this year, including the biggest home
entertainment launch of all time in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Part 2.
I have also been fortunate enough to spend a few weeks in
the US (another dream that came true for me), where I met and saw some
incredible things and made some fantastic new friends.
I am hoping
that 2012 continues in this vein and I would like to take this
opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my work, it really means a lot to me.
As a final present to you all, below are a couple of illustrations I have finished his week.
