Rival blogs

It can get a bit thin on the ground here at MuirBlogsville. One possible reason is that I have a number of other blogging projects (blogjects) on the go. I currently write on Mobile User Experience related issues for MEX, a mobile strategy consultancy and conference organiser.

I contribute posts on design and culture to the blog for Shellsuitzombie, a voluntary organisation that aims to improve the links between graduate designers and the creative industry.

D&AD New Blood

Last night I went down to Kensington Olympia to meet up with Jonny and the ShellsuitZombie crew at the private viewing for D&AD's annual New Blood event. It was a great opportunity to catch up with what they've been doing, and to find out about the organisation beyond the blog. They have done an amazing job hooking up with the D&AD, and from what I could see, they were attracting a lot of attention from design professionals, students and recent graduates with hands-on design tasks, sexy posters and vintage rock music in a lo-fi, cardboard covered booth.

I've enjoyed contributing to the blog, and I look forward to seeing where the project goes next.
