Occasionally Cats

[ex-jedi]

What have you been up to this week? We're having a bit of a rebrand so Kate has spent some of the week brushing up on Adobe InDesign, as in addition to a new website we'll need new business cards and new invoices and stuff. So here's Kate peering meaningfully out the window, drinking in the inspo. We'll keep you posted when the new site is ready. Meanwhile, tell us what you've been up to. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2BYPink

What new things are you trying out this year? We've been using CSS Grid Layout in live projects for a while now, it makes website layout so much easier. If you haven't tried it yet, there's no better place to start than Rachel Andrew's Grid By Example site. If you are using Grid, let us know how you're getting on. Ps. We'll try to post a bit more regularly this year, that'll be new. http://bit.ly/2UAAyBS

Putting my feet up after a busy week. My highlight this week was being a guest on the North Vs South podcast with @thisnorthernboy and @ellimondo. Other slightly less exciting highlight was removing all the jQuery from the @relativepaths site and replacing it with Vue. Phew! https://ift.tt/2MiIe7V

Having a peek at @actual_phoenix's copy of @lionheartmag. Good to see that the rumours of print's demise have been greatly exaggerated. https://ift.tt/2ypBcMi

Having an early morning flick through @actual_phoenix's copy of @lionheartmag, lots of great design and illustration. The rumours of print's demise are greatly exaggerated. https://ift.tt/2JPuq7X

The rather fine fellows of the North vs South Podcast have invited me to record an episode with them tomorrow. They also sent me some nice things. I like nice things. https://ift.tt/2thNgtc

We had a fascinating chat with Jeremy Keith in the latest Relative Paths Podcast about his A Book Apart Book 'Going Offline', service workers and that sort of thing. Go to the @relativepaths profile for the link. https://ift.tt/2K4maMY

This is a note to future me: Don't migrate all your sites to a new web host on a bank holiday weekend. Pic taken by @actual_phoenix. https://ift.tt/2HXpDMJ

A break from work to plant a couple of avacados @actual_phoenix has been growing. We're trying to attract more millennials to the area. https://ift.tt/2JPBRaP

We'll be talking about how overwhelming web development can sometimes be in the next episode of the @relativepaths podcast. Co-host Ben is being a bit overwhelmed here by how much better Windows is than IOS 🙃. https://ift.tt/2IS8PXD

What better way to begin a new @grabaperch project than with the greenest green smoothie that ever did green. https://ift.tt/2ulycP9

Busy day. A little bit of Jekyll, launching the new and (a bit) improved @relativepaths site and preparing for a new @grabaperch project. Phew! https://ift.tt/2pzfUVz

We've mostly finished rebuilding the @relativepaths website with Perch. We just have to write the words now, always the hardest bit I think. http://ift.tt/2F22tn5

[ex-jedi]

I've made some tweaks to the Perch CMS user interface to add a bit more visual hierarchy and contrast. Link to the GitHub repo in my Instagram bio. http://ift.tt/2FP1sPN

Looking through Gestalten Los Logos 4, one of our favourite references for logo design. http://ift.tt/2FIwYz4

This week has been mostly finishing up builds and sub-contract work... and recording a new episode of @relativepaths! It'll be released soon(ish). http://ift.tt/2FwPABU
