January 2018 – that was a good time

I’m going to make a summary after each month this year just like I was trying to do on my previous blog. That’s because I want to have a better look at the situation with my to do list, my projects, and other stuff related with designer’s life, and because my husband’s monthly reports are inspiring me constantly and I wish to do it the same way.

January 2018 monthly report

MAMAdesigner

I started this big project and so far I have done everything what I wanted to do. I wrote 5 posts in January, I gain over 100 UU and almost 500 page views. Thanks to this project I spent wonderful time with my daughter making gifts for her grandparents and hanging pictures in her room. That’s why I’m doing it and I’m very happy it’s happening.

TUTSY

I’m glad to write that it’s the same situation on Tutsy – I’ve done everything I wanted in January. I wrote my first Inkscape tutorial, I did cool mockup with floating leaflet, I did some changes also – I closed the inspiring week series or mabye better description is I transformed inspiring week into the new inspiring month series. I wrote 10 posts, gain over 1000 UU and over 2000 page views. That’s not bad 🙂 For me the tutorial and the free mockup are the best thing.

ENCLAVE GAMES

In January I had the chance to prepare some cool stuff for Enclave Games too. Thanks to Global Game Jam 2018 we made new game demo – it’s called Body Guard and it’s about good cell protecting the body from viruses. That’s our interpretation of this year transmission theme. I also made cool wallpaper for NeuroshimaHex.pl portal – which will be published very soon. I designed Gamedev.js cup… well, perhaps design is too big of a word – I simply put our logo on it, but this is a nice cup 😉 And finally I was working on two other games, but as the design work is still in progress I can’t tell you more about them. I can only write they are going to be the coolest games ever and I hope we will publish them really soon 😀

Other projects and private stuff

In this area I also did great job. I told you in my 2017 summary post that I’m going to:
– Keep up with all the baby stuff and don’t go crazy – in progress
– Fight with the extra kilos (exercise, eat healthy, hydrate the body) – in progress
– Try to become a gardener and plant some plants (buy a few and try not to kill them) – not yet
– Go out more (one big event a month) – in progress
– Remember about myself (one pleasure a month) – in progress
So as you can see I’m pretty good with my New Year’s resolutions.
I also get my brand new Samsung Gear Sport from best husband ever so from now on I’m sure I will exercise more. After a couple days with this watch I’ve already chosen stairs insted of a lift ;P And I hope we will make another cool game – this time for the watch 😀

That’s it. I’m so happy I did all this things. I’m closer to my family, I’m proud of my design projects and finally I’m also thinking about myself. Good job me, good job! 😀
