History and origins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by http:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2009\/12\/22\/design-something-every-day<\/a> I decided to make a small sketch using Inkscape<\/a> every day. After completing the first year in 2010, in 2011, I decided to refocus the effort using the GNU Image manipulation program<\/a>. As a result of this project, I’ve led workshops on the applications, given overviews of the project to groups, made strong connections with a dedicated and loyal community, had a few exhibitions, and learned more than I knew was possible about these applications and my design sensibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a personal crisis in November of 2011, I took a year off from this project to refocus and regain my health. In November 2012, I restarted the blog, and intend to finish the second set of 365 sketches on January 1st, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, it will likely be a weekly or occasional sketch, as the daily post was incredibly beneficial, but also daunting for a free project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
