The 3D Student

3D tasty stuff meets logo design

Big prize Hi El here from Give A Brick and Heaven and El. This is just a quick heads up for any of Heather’s lovely readers who might be interested in a little logo designing competition. It’s been hosted by mine (and Heathers!) good friend Maria Muir over at MariaMuir.com You’ll have to head over there to read more about what she’s after but know this: there is a cash prize!

That got your attention didn’t it?!

Maria’s coming to Wales the weekend of July 24th for our Give A Brick Charity Cocktail Thing and guess what else? She’s asked me to help her pick the winning logo. How cool is that?! It means I’m spared from feeling compelled to have a go too which is good. I prefer to paint my pictures with words

So there’s £50 or $100USD for the designer of the winning logo. After that you’ll have to visit Maria’s blog to find out more.

Good luck!

Practical Tips #3;

Everyone loses a vital piece of work at least once in their career. It could happen at a relatively harmless time when you haven’t done much work on the project anyway. It could also happen at the worst possible time, five minutes before deadline with your boss (or tutor, sometimes that’s the same thing) breathing down your neck.

With this tip we may not remove that dynamic entirely, but we [Read More]

Hello again Welcome to another Friday Shades of a Dream Literary adventure with me, Eleanor from Give A Brick.
