So along with seeing the Aurora Borealis, visiting Yosemite National Park is now definitely on my bucket list, such a beautiful place brilliantly captured in this time lapse.

Gives you an idea of just how scuppered that cruise liner is.

Overall layout for Twenty 11 so far to see how each months flows. 144 pages in 73 spreads. Speed watching Scrubs season 8 whilst working on it but at some point I’m going to have do the copy in silence so I can focus on it.
I’m not sure if I’m getting too much into my obsession with type here and over thinking the line breaks. The first image is how the text naturally flows, the second is with a forced line break which I’m starting to feel I’ve been using too much lately.
I’m sort of applying a reverse widow idea in that ‘fatalities’ is too far out on its own and so it looks better in my mind to bring it into the next line. But in doing so that leaves the single line ‘Iraq War’ above exposed and of course it would be ridiculous to split that plus I don’t have the room.
It’s all about the macro-typography in this instance, I’m focusing more on the general shape and make up of the text than whatever rules there are for this sort of thing. I’ve also been replacing every - with an – as well (that’s an en dash by the way).
Don’t know if that’s just going too far or represent signs of good attention to typography, it’s certainly a bit tiresome in a product guide I’m working on at Intermedia currently.
And so the cover starts coming together, even if all the photos haven’t been found yet, but at least I know what events I’ll be covering now that the year is up.
I thought I’d create a mini-websites for each of my resolutions that I’ve set myself, it was something to do with a bit of spare time I had.
This is another great example of the amazing quality that can be found under the creative commons license, and at a fairly decent 252 dpi for the size that Twenty 11 is. It’s a photo by Jonathan Percy taken as Tropical Storm Irene approached New York in August.

Just out about exploring Skyrim, it’s really quite pretty, there’s so much more to it than just killing things, just walking along a pathway admiring the scenery is fulfilling.
I like to keep track of little landmarks like scrobbling 100,000 songs on my Last.fm since the 19th of February 2006 (47 songs per day on average), pretty good I reckon.
The 100,000th song was Pushing The Senses by Feeder from the Pushing The Senses album, thought it was going to be a Snow Patrol or Two Steps From Hell track but no Feeder snuck in to grab the glory.
Work continues on Twenty 11. Though I must admit I spend quite a bit of my time wrapping my head around things that still need doing. Still, got the month to go, plenty can be done in that amount of time. Just need to get cracking.
