Box of Accomplishments

This concept started as a joke, I said "ooo, I'm going to add that to my box of accomplishments", then I thought about it and decided "Hey, I want a box of accomplishments." This idea is great when you have a bad day just look at it or when you've done something awesome write it down. This way you won't forget something awesome you've done. This is a great exercise to boost your self esteem and really prove that no matter how big or how small something you do is it's still something and its unique to you and how you felt doing it. So I set out to find a box, something pretty and large enough to allow for many accomplishments. I went to Dollarama, found a pretty purple box that ties up if i wanted it to and wrote on the top "Box of accomplishments, made in 2015". Then I found some pattern scrap booking papers and cut them in half so they will fit in the box and have more pieces. Tips Find a box perfect for you, something you'...

Graphic Design Process

One may think being a graphic designer is impossible, it's really not. No matter what type of graphic designer you want to be the steps are gonna be the same. So if you want to create logos, packaging, banners, etc; find what you like and go for it. Many people think you need schooling and art skills and everything but realistically you don't. All you need is to believe you can and learn on your own. Dive in at your own rate, and create something that excites you. Find inspiration, find role models, search out other graphic designers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dl4hkFrR5c This video goes further into details about the steps and process of being a graphic designer. 1)Idea 2)Sketch 3)Basic piece 4)Customize and add details

New look

So I've spruced up the place. New look more professional, this is a new adventure for me. Being determined is a blessing and a curse; sometimes i spend hours getting things just right, and it pays off in the long run. This blog look great . Next step is to start inserting videos and helping you guys learn and figure out things also. But until then I leave you with these words. Be great, try things, fill yourself with knowledge and have fun doing it. Believe and it will happen.

Progress

Starting projects can be challenging heres a few tips to get you into them and help you stay on them, yah ready. 1) Think/imagine the end result. 2) Do as much as you can at one time. 3) Take pictures of before, during and after. 4) Bring them out when you needmotivation. 5) Be proud of the milestones. I hope those tips help you and if not heres a quote. " Rome was not built in a day, but it was worked on everyday". Take that how you will and work on any project you have in mind. Whether it be tackling a room in your house or doing yard work or even doing a task you've been putting off. Just start it and do as much as you possibly can.  

Name change

Oh no......new blog??? Nah, just a new name. "Tad of everythin" previously known as "thewomanwithmanyhats". This new name enhances the blog and gives a true meaning to what it is. If you read the previous post you'll know I'm scatter brained and creative and want too much :). This allows for an outlet or an out pour to inspire, to create, to share with a large audience who may also be scatter brained or just like to read random things. This blog will have a new feel, new content, it will be updated more and I hope for you to share it with others. There's going to do big changes, and I hope to get more people following along and enjoying this blog. More to come stay tuned.

Undecided

In grade 8(2004) I remember reading a book, I remember it so well because I thought the concept was so strange. This book which has since became a movie, works on the premise that when you are twelve your given a career. I'm 23 and still don't know what i want to be when I grow up. It's not that I have no ideas, it's that everything seems so interesting and I just am scatter brained; vlog, blog, create, help, too many choices. The concept of go to school, pick something you want to do(one thing), go to college/ university, be in dept, realize that's not what you wanted, change your mind; repeat. Honestly there needs to be a better system but this is what we have, many have struggled with it many have accomplished greatness with it. So lets all accomplish greatness; right here, right now. No matter if you know what you want or your bouncing between what you want. Do what makes you happy in the moment, don't worry what made you happy last year, or next year. You w...
