Wednesday Wisdom - "How to have a perfectly imperfect wedding/life"

I've decided im going to fill my week with "days" to give me a bit more bloging focus, Wednesday is wisdom day, and i wanted to share some from a brilliant woman named Kat. She has a blog called Rock and Roll Bride, to quote Kat,

"Rock n Roll Bride promotes individuality and general awesomeness in a cookie cutter, pastel pink, poufy dressed wedding world. Don’t let the wedding industry define your day – let *you* define your day."

Anyway here is her post for today, "How to have a perfectly impercect wedding/life"

Finally putting the finishing touches to my entry for Heart Internet's "Design Our Ad" competition - I love my concept, the trick is getting it to look how it does in my head! Im working on the "Every Internet Professionals Dream" quote from their website. Closes on Monday so image to come...

On a side note its great to be creating something again, many more competitions to come I think!

Hello World!

My first propper blog post, I've had blogs in the past that have been lacking so I'm going to work extra hard and make daily posts. Generally about my interests in design, creative culture, the creative industry and trying to crack it, this blog will be my diary on what I read, watch and create from now on.

Enjoy!
