Looking Back When i First started blogging

Before starting this blog in October 2009 I was a blogger virgin. I've heard of a blog but just wasn't interested in doing one. I didn't really know what a blog was, what you do or say. But now i just can't keep myself from posting blogs. I've gone from one extreme of posting 3or 4 blogs a month to posting one every day. I'm enjoying it a lot more then when i first started, i can see that its helping me grow as a designer by looking at my earlier post to my newer ones. It isn't just a reminder, development or collection of experiences for me but its also an in site for others that look or follow my blog. It shows a lot of my experience over the months as well as interesting piece of work i find. It also has links to site i visited allowing other to see what I've been looking at. I've learnt that a massive piece of text explaining what i did or see, isn't always necessary. Just a quote or sentence can be more effective then a paragraph. I feel that this blog has helped me grow and be more confident in blogging things i found, work I've produced or experience I've been through. Its become a diary to me. Just because this means has come to an end i think i will continue on blogging. Its become fun and will sure to continue.

These cones show many different piece of information. Male/Female, Blonde/brown/black/grey/red/other colour hair, age and race. The data was collected in the subway of elephant and castle. For every 0.48cm equals 1person. This was a workshop that i found interesting as we found out many thing in a 20min time limit and it you was able to show the information you found in a visual way. It made statistic fun not bland.
