January 24, 2011

Well, it’s been a really long time since I focused on my branding and my self-promotion. So, over the past few weeks, that’s what I’ve been busy working on. You’re looking at a totally new DavidRickles.com, with a new portfolio, and layout. My blog is new, but will post new features and articles about my work. I also plan to do case-studies about various projects that warrant it. (I already have plans to do one for the TKO TV open as well as the 2k10 Baseball Imaging.)

And most important to any designer, I’ve just today released my new showreel for 2011. After nearly a year and a half without an update, I feel that my work now has reached a level that my old one doesn’t hold up. It was fun to cut, and the work I feel is showcased very well. I’d love your thoughts, so take a second and view it here and leave me a comment. Also, If you’re interested in hiring me, please don’t hesitate to contact me about my rates, or any project.

Other new things on the horizon: A new tutorial blog hosted on DRmotiondesign.com. That page is still being build, but will be up hopefully within the next few weeks. I feel like this will be a good compliment to my portfolio in showcasing not just the work, but my processes behind my work. Likewise, a new photo-blog of my various photography projects will be going up over at PutOnTheMonocle.com (for Monocle Mustache, my personal pet-project).

Definitely stay tuned; follow my RSS feed, follow me on Twitter, and check back as I continue to build the sites and get this going. I have a feeling 2011 is going to be a big year!!
