Gojee - you have my Attention!

Gojee is a beautifully designed new food lover destination. Tell Gojee what you’re craving and what you have in your kitchen and they’ll spoon feed your eyes something dreamy. Got Flour? Black Pepper? Truffle-laced Whole-grain Farm-swaddled Pork Loin? They got a recipe for that



Or got eggs? flour? sugar? butter? They got a killer cupcake recipe for that too


Enjoy!!


99 Designs!

It has been a while since my last post (again) and I apologise. I am still learning to draw the line between work and personal projects. I use to think the two could never be mixed, but over the last few weeks I beginning to learn otherwise.


Today I would like to showcase a design site I used for a project at work. 99 Designs is a an amazing little website that 'crowd sources' your design needs.  Basically the way it works is that you write your design brief, submit it on the website,  99 Designs runs a competition and a whole bunch of designers submit logos (over the course of 3/7 day competition) for your approval. You then get the opportunity to pick your favorite as the winner.





How awesome is that? Not only did we have the choice of picking from over 25 design submissions over the course of three days, we were able to provide instant feedback to our designers to make sure the logos were exactly what we wanted.

Here are some examples of the sort of designs generated through the website:



   




The next time you need a logo designed stat. Use them. I definitely recommend them.

AntiMosquito Fumigator

I know I have been out of action for a while and I apologise. Starting a new job, comes with the need of actually getting used to doing work. Haha, I think i got a bit too used to my holiday lifestyle of doing nothing. That said I love my job and all the things I am learning :)


And talking about learning, look what I discovered today an iphone app called AntiMosquito Fumigator. The app claims to keep mosquitos away as long as you keep it running in the background. It emits a high-pitched sound that humans don’t hear but mosquitos do and not appreciate. I’ll gladly give it a try this coming weekend, but I admit, I am not too hopeful.


I just had to share it! :) Happy Friday everyone!
