January was a hectic month, so much that I didn’t have the chance to post anything. While I have a few minutes though, I’d like to catch you all up on a few things.

First off, Happy 1st Birthday to karoleendesign.com. My site launched on Feb 1st, 2009, so I’m a few days late but I had it in mind! I celebrated by… taking a long, much deserved nap, and of course, filing my tax return–don’t forget to do that! Secondly, work life has been hectic with keeping up with print work and web design/coding which leaves little time to keep up with this blog. So, among a plethora of design projects, here’s a quick and brief update:

A new poster just pitched:

A new logo just passed:

A new website being developed:

I’ll be sharing the logo design process for the UCSB Pathways Program logo which will take you through the ins and outs of its design from the beginning consultation to final delivery.

Thirdly, an upcoming trip is set which will begin at the end of March. I’ll be backpacking across Europe for 9 weeks with two brave, adventurous souls. I suspect these will be 9 weeks full of artistic opportunity, sources for inspiration and many many travel stories. Check back for Tumblr links so you can follow us on our journey. ‘Til then… back to the design grind.

p.s. Happy New Year.
