YouTube – One House Per Second website

YouTube - One House Per Second website

Did you know that ever second one hour of video is uploaded to YouTube! Now, that’s a lot of video’s!

To promote this fact, YouTube created this very cool website showing some thought provoking statistics about how uploaded videos convert
into real-time.

The site was produced by Punk & Butler, a data arts and digital production company and the illustrations were created by artist, Alex Eben Meyer.

I had to blog about it as I love the quirky illustrations/animations on the site. Here are a few of my favourites!

You can also watch YouTubes “One Hour Per Second” animation too. It’s worth a watch!

Now that we’re settled in at the new Top Left Design office, it was time to add some finishing touches to the space. My “TLD Towers” illustration was hung, along with some other cool pieces of art work on Friday.

Top Left Design’s January Newsletter – Make Do And Mend!

Top Left Design’s January Newsletter – Make Do And Mend!

Yesterday Top Left Design sent out their January newsletter (just in time!).

The theme was “Make Do And Mend” and I created the illustrate for the banner this month! I wanted to show the idea of mending something that was old or broken, so the iPad was a perfect choice.

The newsletter talks about “8 free, or almost free ways to improve your presence online”. This could be anything from updating your vanity URL on LinkedIn to going through your website and making a “snagging list” of changes you’d love see.

You can read Top Left Design’s January newsletter here for more tips.

Here’s a close up of the full illustration I created.

I also designed the footer for the newsletter too.

The team also wrote a blog post about their newsletter too.

Keren Lerner’s “Owls” collection on Pinterest

Pinterest - Owls collection by Keren Lerner

Recently, I’ve been introduced to the wonderful world on Pinterest, and I LOVE it! It’s like having your very own vitual pin board full of all the things that inspire you. I registered for my own account today, and I have a few ideas as to what I’m going to be pinning up.

Keren Lerner at Top Left Design has been very busy creating her own inspiration boards. I love her Owl collection, and thought I would make a perfect blog post after my recent “Owly” illustration.

Keren has also written a very interesting post about Pinterest, and it’s well worth a read!

Here are a few images from her board.

Top Left Design’s December Facebook banner illustration

Top Left Design's December Facebook banner illustration

As well as illustrating Top Left Design’s newsletter I also quickly knocked up this Facebook banner too using the same theme. It was quite hard to get 9 sledgers into that shape so I was chuffed to fit them all in!

Check out the illustration here and find out what Top Left Design have been getting up to.
