Practicing the art

Posted by: Helen Richards
Design Practice

I started wondering how many designers have the discipline and take the time to design something every day - nothing big, just a little something to practice the skills and keep the juices flowing. I found that loads of designers are doing it! Just one great example is Daily Drop Cap by Jessica Hische. Every day this talented designer creates a new decorative drop cap – just whatever takes her fancy, then adds it to her blog. (and makes it available for free download)

I was impressed and inspired.

I freakin love this. I just wish I had the will power to do it. I know I’ll start out strong and then just lose my momentum. But I’m going to try anyways!

I’m up! But I’m a developer, not a designer, so I think I will develop something every day for my own new framework.
