Time to finish with this blog. I’ve been fret­ting over the design for quite some time. Tin­kering with Word­Press has been a lot of fun. And while I admit the design is not really that impres­sive, I have fig­ured out how to do sev­eral things I wasn’t able to do before. In addi­tion, this was the first project I have under­taken in quite some time where I began with a cen­tral idea and then deter­mined ways in which to express the idea. “Artic­u­lated” means not only some­thing that is spoken or expressed but also that which is com­posed of moving joints. Thus, artic­u­la­tion is the bringing together of the jum­bled – dis­jointed – thoughts and giving them form through expres­sion. My design here expresses the rough­ness by which things (like thoughts) are some­times brought together. Not every­thing can be paired neatly with hinges.

But I have many other projects to work on. There is my Haunts project, which needs to be redesigned. I have an idea in mind for the design of my inter­ac­tive travel journal that needs to be imple­mented. And, most impor­tantly, there is my port­folio which has already been waiting a year for me to begin building. While I feel like I have been learning things and making progress, progress must now come much faster.

Not to say that I won’t con­tinue to post. Blog­ging is one of the activ­i­ties which helps me prac­tice my writing skills and sharpen my thoughts. It also helps me remember things to post about them. But I can’t keep messing with the design. For right now, it is done.
