Happy to say that my BigFatRobot logo has made it to the members' favourites section on LogoPond - yay!
This made me think how important these peer networking sites are. Designers are oft isolated souls, working in dusty little industrial-chic garrets, pulling vectors and pushing pixels, with only an overlord (who is usually an accountant) or a client (who is usually an accountant) stooping behind us, saying things like "it just doesn't feel right" and we are always subject to their outrageous whims and “minor tweaks”. By the way, the phrase “minor tweaks” is kryptonite to even the most super of designers, when muttered at the wrong time it can reduce us to a shakey souffle of our former selves. But these peer to peer sites give us an opportunity for encouragment and constructive critique. I say "Rock on, LogoPond!"
About Me
- BigFatRobot
- I’m a Web designer/illustrator based in Melbourne. I love going to bands, drinking cups of green tea, supping on pints of stout (Coopers, of course), looking at/doing pop-surrealism art, getting/looking at masterfully done tattoos that have stories, being with lovely people who have lovely smiles and witty and/or poignant things to say. I’m quite fond of verbs. Plus, I lived in Japan for a while, consequently a lot of my work has been inspired by that wonderful, crazy place.

"Minor tweaks" evoke the same fear in coders, trust me :)
