Stuff it. I couldn’t wait until the cards were printed to show y’all. This is my personal branding.
Just picture the purple as a matte pigment foil over textured black card (GF Smith Colorplan 275gsm), duplexed onto the same stock in Natural colour, with the black text letterpressed. Will hopefully arrive by Thursday.
Yes that is an ice cream. Congratulations, you’ve unlocked the secret metaphor behind the Sweet Sweet logo.
Foil blocks for cover have been designed, sent, and are being made as we speak. Well, probably not right now, considering it’s almost midnight. But in general.
Business cards/logo for your’s truly have been designed. Let’s hope I can source the stock. (Geez what is it with you and ridiculously obscure papers, Scott?) I’m not going to show any peeks until it’s done, but I’ll leave you with a few keywords: Purple, Pigment, Foil, Letterpress, Duplex

Got this gem from the head of the Skills in Schools operation, from The Skills Organisation. Expect to see that one in my presentation slides.
A few of the pretty much final spread designs. Blank black page on image 2 is to be filled with a pull quote.
Black & White photos look washed out because they are in grayscale mode, and that’s how it appears on indesign
Contrary to what the title may have had you believe, I have currently written a little under 10 000 words of content. Keep truckin’.

Shoes for the rain
What a beautiful idea. Kiwi, Scottt Wilson created these shoes, to express his passion for walking in the lashing rain. The words only show up when the shoes are drenched.
This piece was created to express my love of walking in the rain.
But I don’t just mean any rain.
I mean rain rain.
When it’s so damn heavy that you have to walk all hunched over with your hood on, and all you can see are your feet walking along the pavement, watching as your shoes get wetter an wetter until they are soaked through. I find it somewhat cleansing.
The words ‘Water is walked alongside, and loved’ were taken from the poem Lyric by New Zealand poet Dinah Hawken, and as you may have noticed, they only appear when the shoes get wet. Preferably by rain.

What’s that? 1000 reblogs? That must be, like, infinite… A much needed boost to my esteem and motivation.

I will no doubt be asked by the skills brokers I am meeting next week why I’m not including level 3 or lower qualifications.
Firstly, on a practical level, this book is not a replacement but a standalone piece. Otherwise I would have to include more than 50 qualifications, and I have already written well over 5000 words for about 14.
But my simple arguement on a bigger level is this: If you install a bench on a bushwalk, people will sit down on it and think ‘thank goodness for this bench, I was getting tired.’
If you don’t install a bench, nobody will sit down nor are they likely to realise that there was no bench.
Catch my drift?
