One good news….

I’m beginning my first company, LLC, studio, or whatever you want to call it. So far I have 4 people along with myself, and I can say we cover a good variety of multimedia talents. The company isn’t official, but in due time, I will gear things towards that. I’ve always wanted to work with people, and people that share in the same interest of web design, art, graphics, and coding.

I may be recruiting for more, but for now, I find it comfortable (well, not really, we just have no planned direction to go yet). The main thing is..I appreciate people that want to do things for the sake of doing it. Obviously hiring people to do work with no pay is probably the hardest thing to do for a company, but with friends and like minds, a group can be formed to do what you love to do with no cost.

And so…I have a lot of work to be doing. I’ve done a lot…I got business cards done, websites done, and figuring out some schedule for my blog. I think I’ll do that now, so this post doesn’t seem too useless.

So here’s my schedule for the blog and also myself in some sort. You don’t have to memorize this schedule, just subscribe, follow me on twitter, or follow me on facebook, and you’ll get the updates as soon as I post them.

Blogging Schedule

Monday Headlines – Recap of my week/Updates/News…basically just me talking about what’s happening personally or any new news about the site/studio. (Will most likely be journal entries)

Tuesday Tips + Tricks – Tips, tricks, and any short tutorials that I’ll randomly decide to talk about whether it be about CSS, HTML, a quick workaround behind a problem, how to set up certain things, etc…

Wednesday Listings – Might be a list of links, list of resources, list of something that will be useful, inspiring, or interesting.

Thursday Tutorials – Thursday Tutorials will feature tutorials made by my studio or myself. These will be full fledged tutorials with pictures or perhaps a video.

Friday Free Day – Anything goes. News, resource, tutorials, tips. It’s free for all, so anything may come.

Saturday/Sunday – Nothing is planned, but if I do have a post, it might be more journal related since I’m trying to free my weekends for personal work and relaxing.

Conclusion

So that’s the new daily schedule. I apologize if I don’t happen to follow it strictly, but I’m hoping it’ll be quite smooth and I’ll be dedicating 1-2 hours on blogging everyday. Thanks for visiting my site and subscribe, comment, link, contribute, have fun.

And here are the winners….

1st Place – Zachary Smith

2nd Place – Benjamin Whitt

3rd Place – Tyler Agte

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the winners. The 1st place winner already claimed his prize at the 3View Portfolio Show, and the other prizes are waiting. I’ll notify the winners by email on how to claim those prizes as soon as I figure out a way. Again, most likely you’ll be heading to Career Services to claim your prize.

Thank you again, and visit often for more contests, resources, tutorials, and more provided to you by Creative-Le Studios.

I’ll be making a redesign post to highlight some changes and why I chose to do those changes. In the meantime, thanks for your patience and keep a look out for the finished blog when everything is done. To give an insight on my direction for my blog, it’s going to be more personal, and down to earth. I’m not caring too much about grammar, spelling, etc… (Unless it was a tutorial) So if you like to stick around for some laid back discussions about graphics, design, web, inspiration, and whatever’s going on in the world, feel free to stay and read.

Thanks to all my subscribers and inspirational people.

If you’re among the 5 finalists, I want to recommend you to show up for the Portfolio show. I’ll be there around 5:30 to set up the room, and if you want to stop by there you’re free to do so. The final prize will showcased near 7PM. Thank you all the contestants for joining and congratulations to the finalists. I hope to see you at the Portfolio Show on Friday, May 7th.
