As I entered into the first half of the last term of this second school year here, I ended up doing quite a few design related things. Somewhat unexpectedly, and all quite a lot of fun for me to stretch this particular muscle again.
My "arty-facts" ranged from vector drawings to banners and posters. Created both a computer game as well as an update of a traditional game. It was creativity going on overdrive.
And all this without a change of job. Just having to attend to specific dimensions of my job I was not as involved with previously. Also discovering and using tools that allowed me to do what I really enjoy and thankfully this also had some overlap with my job.
(Will have to show and write about some of these things on my other blogs, either pausetolearn or pauseability Wordpress or pauseability blogspot.)
