Nicholas Felton’s 2009 Annual Report:
Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist… any time I felt that someone had discerned enough of my personality and activities, they were given a card with a URL and unique number to record their experience.
Dear PayPal, thank you for saving my credit card details and making impulse purchases all the more easier.

I’ve changed this blog’s URL to bring it under the haydenhunter.me network of sites, which currently totals one, this one. I’ve put redirects in place so that the old links (including RSS feeds) will redirect to their new locations. Gravy.
My blog’s also testing a still in progress update to my Prologue Theme. I’ve included heaps of customisation options, for example: endless scrolling (well until you run out of posts), an optional fixed second column, custom icon and text colours, widescreen and more pretty YouTube embeds, easier Disqus setup, and better integration with Tumblr to add links to external profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc., and yes, the photo overlays are gone.
So if you have anything you’d like improved in the updated version spam my Ask form. If you’re after a response please leave some contact info.
When will it be ready? I haven’t a clue.

I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, […] or whether it is worth anything.
It’s worth it to me.

Central Avenue is a revival of Victorian hand drawn signage, created for graphics celebrating Birmingham’s 1886 Exhibition of Local Manufacturers and Natural History.
What was important was to not lose the essence of the original designs through digitising. We wanted to make sure that we managed to retain some of the awkwardness and personality that the man-made letter forms had. We also created a set of word logos to keep its Victorian roots evident.

I’m in love with the cross stitch embellishments—the manual anti-aliasing in the title is superb. Bonus points for using Eric Olson’s FIG. Seriously nice.
