All looking good... I get the strong impression that you are really enjoying this projec. You are meeting and interacting with a great variety of individuals and this is a very enriching experience. Your recording of all activities on the blog is an excellent source of primary research and just as important as the design outcomes you are producing, at a pace.

ONE WORK OF CAUTION HOWEVER: you appear to persist in the perpetual habit of 'over styling' your designs with extended horizontal and vertical lines (rules) that are added to letterforms or act as borders...these are 'horrible' and so dated. Can I strongly suggest that you desist! We have come across these additions before and I know that you think this adds originality and charcater to your work- it really does'nt.

Thank you for your comments. It has already been an amazing journey. There have been technical difficulties, early morning rises and sleepless nights, but I am truly loving it! I cannot believe how much I have learnt and how many people I have spoken to in the process and I just hope it will get better.

I will certainly take heed about the horrible horizontal lines...apologies! Day 21 is a new day!
