New Year's Resolutions

The past couple of days I've been learning a few new skills in Illustrator, which should help enhance my design work. I've particularly been experimenting with different text effects as I increasingly find myself needing to use typography within my work and would like to do this as imaginatively as possible. Found some great tutorials here. One of my resolutions for 2013 is to build a new website using some of the typography and animation skills I've honed over the past year, so watch this space.

I'm also looking forward to participating in some great exhibitions in early 2013:

The Grant Bradley Gallery's show, 'Let Me Illustrate' runs Sat 12 Jan to Sat 2 Feb, with a preview on Fri 11 Jan

Drawn in Bristol's fantastic new exhibition 'Beat the Blues' launches Fri 18 Jan at St George's Bristol with an evening of live music.

I'm excited to see some imaginative and inspiring work at both of these, as well as seeing what new opportunities arise. Roll on the New Year!
