2012

This is the fourth year running that i’ve written a post with a mini review of the previous year and jotted down the plans I have for the coming year. Here’s the 2011/2012 edition.

2011 in review
First up, the big one. In April 2011, I joined EQ Design in Aberdeen to lead the digital offering of the company. In short, I have never been so happy working for someone else. I get to work with a brilliant team who also happen to be lovely people. I feel at home here and I love my job. Result!

Looking at my aims for backend, frontend, and creative for 2011, I seem to have done all that I wanted to do and a little bit more. Where I fell down was in fitness. I got no hillwalking done at all and I barely went running. I did walk more but I really need to try harder next year.
I should also make some mention of the little missions I went on in 2011 starting with a desire to get out of my confort zone and meet other web/digital people around Scotland. I posted about one journey to Edinburgh where i went lone wolf although I didn’t post about the Highland Fling conf (also in Edinburgh) which was just as eye opening and one of the best little conferences i’ve been to. If the Highland Fling runs again this year, i’ll be there. So on top of subject matter related to what I do for a living, I also decided to put myself through a couple of lifestyle challenges. My month of being vegetarian is detailed here. In October, a bunch of us decided to give up alcohol for a month, as it was the most boring month ever, I didn’t blog about it. We did run a blog for people to contribute to and if you want to observe some of our misery, it’s over here.

And so to my plans for 2012
Backend

Much like last year, I will largely stuck to Python/Django in my own time. At work, it’s all about PHP and ExpressionEngine but hopefully this will be the year that I can start phasing out much of the legacy PHP work, replacing it with Django or EE where necessary. I wont be looking to learn another language this coming year as I’m more than happy with Django and EE to take care of anything that comes our way at this stage.
Frontend

It was all about responsive design last year and HTML5/CSS3 are the tools to deliver that. This year I need to get my head fully around SASS and I will be continuing with my JavaScript education. I really want to have a much better understanding of, and fluency in JavaScript as it’s one of the things that will continue to be a core requirement in 2012 and further ahead.
Creative

I’ve taken a much larger interest in graphic design again and as well as buying typography and design theory books, i’ve also been able to pester the designers at EQ. I now get excited about paper samples and appreciate nice packaging again. I’ll be continuing to learn about all of this. One of the new-found pleasures of working with designers who really live and breathe design, is that i can ask questions and know i’ll get an informed, thought provoking and interesting reply. I’ve bought some tasty pens, pencils and some notebooks, yep…i’ll be drawing again. I have a couple of tattoo designs to put together for friends and i want to get my daughter excited about drawing as well. Maybe i’ll post some of my pics on here.
Fitness

I did a little running last year although i may as well not have bothered, this is the year i’m going to do it though, starting today in fact with day 1/week 1 of couch to 10k.
Somewhere along the line, I started smoking again. This is stupid. I have quit again and will use the money I save to buy that mac i’ve not been able to afford for some reason :/

So here’s to another year. I hope you all have a succesfull one :)

Up the creek without a vessel

Sad news.

I discovered tonight that the globe in Aberdeen has made itself into a pretentious lunchtime eatery. For many months, this has been the venue for #rafting.

Rafting started out as a massive burger and a pint on a Friday lunchtime (when i worked with Fifth Ring) where some of us would commandeer a table and have a little bit of lunch and chat. One day a random guy approached our table and rather bizarrely asked “are you guys white water rafters?” and so “rafting” was born. Over the months, more people joined in. Largely Aberdeens digital/web people. It became an event. It has become legendary.

Tonight it has become clear that #rafting is homeless. We need a new venue so I put it to all rafters past and present that we need to agree on a new location.

Initial suggestions from me are The Howff or The Prince of Wales but other places may be more suitable. If you’ve been rafting, this is your time to fire the flare gun in the direction of our future.

Get your life jackets on, grab a paddle and let’s give #rafting a future.

Mighty Meetup Aberdeen is BACK

Thought i’d do my bit to help promote the Mighty Meetup in Aberdeen which returns tomorrow night (That’s Wed 14th Sept 2011).
The summer break is over and the Mighty Meetup returns with a topic which i’m sure is close to all of our hearts, spec work.

As ever, the meetup is organised by Deer Digital and this time, Fifth Ring are picking up the tab for beer and pizza.
If you’re involved in the web, this is a must. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet everyone else in the industry and have some fun. For all the details, head over here

Yes…you did read that correctly, Fifth Ring are buying the beer. Get down there!

Extremely Quick 6 months

Today marks 6 months to the day of me joining EQ Design. What started as a message through LinkedIn to ask if I was interested in the position quickly snowballed into a couple of cups of coffee before talking things through with EQ properly. I bit their arm off and did what I had to do to make this move a reality. That 6 months have already past has caught me a bit by surprise. It’s very clear that I’ve been enjoying it. It was obvious even before I officially started that i’d made the best career decision yet. I found myself on an EQ night and quickly discovered that this was going to be brilliant. Even Stewart’s singing couldn’t put a dampener on things. When I did start officially, I was given free reign to make digital my own and build it into the best it could be for EQ. From those early days to today, I am backed fully and given all the support, advice and opportunity I could ever hope for. The team works as one, we work hard and we party hard. Within the first 3 weeks of being here, i’d already had more nights out that the previous year at another agency. The importance of regular social outings away from work is absolutely key to building a team that cares about each other and listens to each other.

No job is entirely plain sailing, every position i’ve had has had its fair share of issues to deal with and life at EQ is no different. What is different though is an absolute resolve to do what is best for the client by way of open communication, transparency and a lack of any internal blame culture. I see a very bright future for EQ, we continue to put vital elements in place, collectively learn cross discipline skills and grow where we need to. We are determined to be better, determined to succeed and determined to enjoy ourselves while we do it. We’re a little bit different and maybe a little bit quirky. We have bags of personality, bags of talent and years of experience. We will surprise you.

This has unquestionably been the highlight of my career. Thanks to all at EQ for making me so welcome.

31 days on the veg

If you know me, follow me on twitter etc, you’ll know that for the 31 days of August, I decided to eat as a vegetarian. I lovingly named it #meatismurdermonth. What follows are my reasons why, what I’ve learned and what I’ve concluded.
I always believed that vegetarianism was a bit silly, that vegetarians don’t eat properly, we’re natural carnivores and that veggys are awkward. These are all things i’ve had no hesitation speaking about whenever in the company of a vegetarian. I decided to prove my point. You read that correctly, I went on my month long mission just so at the end of it, I could qualify my opinions with a “i once went vegetarian for a month and my opinions are now validated”. If there is a more wrong reason to do something, I don’t know what that might be. Unfortunately for ‘old me’, this didn’t happen. After a shaky first week of essentially living on rice, peas and carrots, a whole world of food opened up before me and I was forced to rethink my previous opinions almost entirely. I also made some observations about vegetarianism (or flavours of vegetarianism) and noticed a few things that non vegetarians wouldn’t notice unless they went on a similar mission.

The rules I was going to live by were simple, if an animal had to die, i wasn’t eating it. During my journey I found vegetarians who eat chicken, fish or both and got myself into a dilemma about eggs. I’ll get to that though. I wasn’t going vegan, i just wasn’t eating meat/fish/eggs. Simple.
Here are some of my findings:

Protein
Because i “wasn’t eating properly” at the start of my quest and was living on almost nothing, I quickly became overly tired, lost concentration easily and generally felt lethargic. Thanks to the power of twitter, I was introduced to a solid, and probably far healthier protein replacement in quinoa which although a bit bland on it’s own, mixed with other foods, it’s great. I quickly felt full up again and my brain was back online.
Vegetarian curry is the bomb
Without any doubt, the best curry i’ve eaten in years was a vegetable curry. I’ve never ordered Indian food without Lamb or Chicken in it before so this was a real eye opener for me. It also cost less than it’s meat based counterparts. In the kitchen I am now somewhat an expert in making Bombay potatoes.

Buying lunch in a shop becomes difficult
I usually go to the shop across the road from my work for lunch, they have sandwiches, ready meals etc, all of which are convenient for lunchtime. Next time you do something similar, I challenge you to pick something without meat/fish/eggs in it. Enjoy your cheese and onion or cheese and tomato based meal. This is a real problem and has to be a factor in peoples general eating habits and over reliance on meat. God only knows how vegans cope.
People take the piss
People I know were quick to jump on my quest and take the piss out of me for being vegetarian. I shouldn’t have been surprised, after all i’d been doing it to vegetarian friends for a long time. They got their revenge, fair play. Now that i’ve been on the receiving end of it and realise I was being a twat, I’ll not be doing it again. I now have respect for those people who live as vegetarians.

People can be very supportive
My wife Kathryn was incredibly supportive during this time, as were a number of people on twitter who offered advice, recipes and good debate around what i was doing. Thanks to everyone who helped by jumping in to suggest things when I was struggling. A special thanks to the people who publicly stated that I’d fail. Proving you wrong was a big motivation factor ;)
I became influential (well, in my own mind at least)
Some of us digital people in Aberdeen have a regular lunchtime meet up called “rafting”, it generally involves a monstrous burger and a beer. During my month, this happened. Amazing! cheers guys!

Eggs
This gave me a dilemma and also scarred me for life. I had it in my mind that an egg becomes a chicken so therefore was off the menu. I then got into several debates about this and learned that eggs are unfertilised and so were fair game. I then got told that an egg could be viewed as “a chickens period”…mmm…tasty, now they’re fully off the menu until I erase that thought from my mind. Sorry for placing it into your minds.
There are no vegetarian restaurants in Aberdeen
Nope, not even one that I could find. Anyone know of any? Did I miss something?

There are different flavours of vegetarianism
You can view the range of options here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetarianism#Varieties_of_vegetarianism. I have no idea how a vegetarian counts eating fish or chicken as being vegetarian. Seems to me that the rules are made up to suit individuals. This one discovery was highly instrumental in forming my conclusions on the whole experience.
My conclusion
And so to sum up what 31 days of being vegetarian has done to me. Firstly, this was a real eye opener, i mean life changing. I have learned so much over the month that through ignorance i’d previously dismissed entirely. I should probably recognise that although a month seemed like a long time to me, it’s probably not long enough to make as informed a conclusion as I’d like to. Perhaps 3 months would have been better? There is the initial shock to the system of changing your diet followed by a period of ‘finding your feet’ and for me, I wasn’t up to speed with what I could have been eating for about a week. Had I researched things in advance, it would have been easier.

So to first tackle the notion of “being vegetarian”, no doubt i’ll really annoy some people with my new opinions but unless you’re going to avoid meat/fish etc, I don’t think you should be calling yourself a vegetarian. There, I said it. Argue away.
I was forced to reconsider entirely my old opinions that vegetarians don’t eat correctly. As it turns out, there is a whole world of food out there that doesn’t require animals to die. It’s damn tasty too! I ran into things I’d expected such as low energy levels, lack of concentration and weight loss. I also found there are foods you can eat to counter this. An important discovery is actually drinking more water helps tremendously with concentration levels. I found this out by feeling hungry, not having something on hand to eat and so having a drink of water instead. All that advice I’d maybe been ignoring about drinking more water being important, actually turns out to be fact.

Throughout the month, it was always my intention to return to eating meat and that intention hasn’t changed. My diet will change though, no doubt about it. With the additional knowledge of foods I now have, my diet will evolve and I’ll eat less meat than I did previously. I realise now how dependant I was on meat previously and this just isn’t healthy in my opinion. For this finding alone, I am glad I did this.
The key conclusion of this month is that I have discovered what ‘a balanced diet’ actually looks like and that a balanced diet is the most important thing. 

For the time being though…nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, will stand in my way of a bacon roll tomorrow morning.

Designers need to learn from each other

Something got my back up today. To be perfectly honest, this is something that’s been bubbling away under the surface for many years. Today it boiled over. Today Adobe announced a new product promising “Design and publish HTML websites without writing code” Although a massive debate erupted about this, the new product wasn’t the issue for me, the anti-print design sentiment that it spawned in various people was. I got just a little bit fucked off with the attitude of some web designers towards print designers. For as long as I can remember, there has been a divide. It’s not even a proper divide, it’s a perceived divide made by designers in both disciplines who have little understanding of the others industry, skills and knowledge. It’s small minded, petty and destructive, in short, it’s bollocks. We all need to move on from this.
Why this shouldn’t be an issue for designers

Real designers are hungry for knowledge, hungry to express ideas and hungry to know absolutely everything. A designer can point out their own weaknesses and failures and can find solutions. Basically, a designer can solve problems in elegant, unpredictable and surprising ways. The medium of doing so is secondary to what the problem actually is and, what the ultimate solution may be. If something has to be learned to give life to that solution then something will indeed be learned.
Learn, learn more, keep learning. Now discover that you actually know quite little

When I started out, It didn’t take me very long to discover that actually, I knew very little. At that early point in my career, I went nuts absorbing as much knowledge as I possibly could about everything I could think of. I knew at that point that my biggest gap in knowledge was to do with web development. I spent years grafting to remedy that. Guess what? I still know a lot less than I’d like to. This holds true for designers in all disciplines. Different sets of tools, different outputs and often different considerations but still a hell of a lot to learn and to stay on top of. Throughout my career, I’ve made sure i’ve worked in design for print, print production, web design, web development and design/animation for motion graphics. I’ve done enough in each field to realise that I know much less than I ever though I did. I do something about this though, I work really hard to stay on my game, I spend a lot of time learning about concepts, techniques, languages, theory and tools. Right now for example, I’m back in amongst typography and this is where my next point is going to come from.
Work with designers who actually give a shit

I am extremely lucky to work with designers (yes, print designers) who passionately care about their work, want to know everything they can and are hungry for new solutions. If you don’t work with people like this, it’s time to find another job. We do have banter (I should really stop calling them “crayon monkeys” to be honest) but we all respect each others skills and expertise. A united design team is solid gold. We learn from each other, we discuss design decisions as a team. When I want to learn more typography, I have people on hand, only too happy to help. This kind of knowledge sharing is priceless. I can apply what I know, they can apply what they know and we all end up collectively better, with better solutions and with happier clients. When someone gets excited about some new js or some quirky css, my life improves. This works both ways. Today for example I got excited about paper samples. That hasn’t happened for many years. I have fine tuned my expertise on the web but I haven’t forgotten the principles and methods from the other disciplines I’ve worked in (well, maybe i’ve forgotten some stuff). These design principles and methods cross over, there is much to learn from each other.
Do something out of the ordinary. Mix it up

If you’re a web designer, go and play around in InDesign for a while, see what you can learn. See if you can find any of the irritations/problems that print designers have and see what your solutions might be. What would you do on the web with this flexibility of design, what ideas do you have? If you’re a print designer, ask a web designer for some code to play around with. Tinker with it, see what things do, see what the frustrations and problems are, think about what you could do with this. Once you’re done, go and have a beer and a chat with each other. There will probably be new ideas that have come to light. Do something about them.
Stop the negativity and bitching

In my opinion, it is downright childish to continue with this print/web designer nonsense. There is no battle to be had. Sure a web designer will largely do a better job at designing a website and a print designer will do better with an annual report but if you worked together instead of bitching, collectively the results may well be better. Try it. The energy you would spend slating a print designer doing web design would be better spent by learning more, experimenting more and collaborating more. You’ll be surprised at what you learn and at what you can produce. If you have no desire to work together and cross disciplines, I’d suggest it’s maybe time to call it a day and get a job you actually like.
I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from our junior designer. That’s right, our junior designer. Now go and collectively build brilliant things, that’s why you became designers.

In defence of spec work

This is a lively old topic again so I thought I’d take the opportunity to have a little look at the other side of the argument. I do need to be clear though, I’m not pro spec work. I do believe that to be truly able to understand something, one must first understand both sides of an argument.
At the top of this post I have said “this is a lively old topic again”, I say “again” because I’ve been around a while and I’ve seen this debate come in and out of popularity over the years. I’ve seen people (including myself) argue the case against and continue to do spec work when it suits them or more accurately, when they think it gives them a competitive edge. We continue to do spec work because it is part and parcel of our industry, always has been and it always will be. Convincing yourself of the opposite is perhaps a bit naive. Spec work is a perceived necessity for many and I cant see it ever not being that way, no matter how loudly people stamp their feet about it.

There are many different things that can take on the title of spec work but for this little post, i’m directly referring to doing “free” design work in order to land a job in a competitive pitch.
Lets jump into an imaginary scenario where spec work isn’t as common as it is here back in reality. In this wonderful world, most people actually refuse to do it. Let’s live this dream for a minute. You receive an invitation to tender, you know that at the very least, another 4 agencies will have been asked to tender also. This is a competitive pitch, it’s about you going head to head with other agencies to land a substantial piece of work that you’re more than likely falling over yourself to land. Here’s how my mini scenario might well break down:
  1. 5 companies prepare a pitch
  2. The recipient chops off the cheapest one and the most expensive one for no other reason than this is how they’ve always dealt with quotes (yes, that’s right, your lovingly prepared pitch is at this stage more often than not, simply about the numbers). This leaves 3 for them to look at in depth.
Of the 3 left, things will probably be pretty close, here’s the kicker. One agency has broken ranks in our no spec work utopia and has decided to throw in a full set of visuals of how it’s all going to look. The client is more than likely not a designer, doesn’t imagine things like a designer might and needs a bit of assistance to fully understand the design concepts you are currently communicating in words. In the midst of this, here before them are a set of images (they say many words, remember?) Who gets the gig? Indeed, as far as the client perceives things in terms of effort put in, who should get the gig? One company has proven they can communicate ideas more effectively than the others. They’ve set themselves apart. This also scales. If two or indeed all companies prepare a set of visuals, the client picks the agency who has visually struck a chord with them and shown them something that they can relate to, even if at this stage it’s a loose connection, its got to be more appealing to a prospective client than some words and prices. No? That’s strong, persuasive communication tactics right there.

Back to reality then, It therefore makes sense that in order to give yourself the best chance of landing the gig, you need to bust out a few visuals in order to compete. In other businesses, this is called a loss leader.
Even those who are vocally against spec work in principle will actively prepare “free” designs of how a piece of design may look “depending on the client” and this is why spec work is not going away and instead is accepted, embraced and is in fact an important part of the pitching process for agencies. To gain a competitive advantage over your competitors is a fact of our industry that will never go away. It comes down to who can best communicate to the prospective client why they should be appointed.

Sign up for campaigns against it, hold lively debates by all means, discuss it continually over decades but don’t for a minute think that this is going to go away, it’s an important part of a pitch, a means to gaining advantage in a positioning exercise and as there will always be differing levels of skill, reputation and cost, there will always be people seeking a competitive advantage.
I’m not saying it’s right, nor am I agreeing with it in principle but spec work is a fact of life.

How to tell which version of Ubuntu you have

Noting this for myself as I always forget but knowing that more of my friends are using Ubuntu these days, it might be handy for others also.
open your terminal

type: cat /etc/lsb-release
see something like this:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=”Ubuntu 10.10”

A post about Beer

Not sure i’ve ever posted about beer before so here goes.
I love the beer made by BrewDog, it’s no secret. I think in 5am Saint I have found what I consider to be the best beer made in Scotland, hands down. I am a bit of a fanboy and i don’t mind admitting that, not one bit.

I just sampled the ‘new’ Punk IPA and it left me a bit confused. This new version comes in at 5.6% whereas the old version weighed in at 6% but the changes don’t stop there. The original made my day the first time i tried it, it was like being battered round the face with a bag of hops. It wasn’t an ‘easy’ beer, many people didn’t like the bitterness and didn’t like the uncompromising attitude of the little fucker. I thought it was a work of art. Sadly, bar a few unsold bottles on various supermarket shelves, it seems to be gone now. 
Replaced with a new version. 

A very different version.
The good news (as far as my taste buds can tell anyway) is that the new version is lovely, it really is a tasty beer. I enjoyed it a lot. It seems a lot more palatable than the previous version, more people will like it, more people will buy it, it’ll become more popular. This is great news for BrewDog but not so great news for me. I really REALLY liked the original. I REALLY liked that not everyone could deal with it and i REALLY liked that it would remain a ‘beer for punks’. I’m going to miss you original Punk IPA, really i will.
