  TW30: Day 30 – 30. 

  

  That’s it. 30 days, 30 designs.

  I stoked I completed the 30 days. I thought 12 designs a couple of years ago was tough enough but those absolutely smashed that. I can remember which days were the hardest days… mainly around 6 to 11 and 26 to 29. The hardest part was thinking of something to do, not so much the execution. I ideas of what I’d like to do before TW30 so that mainly wasn’t the issue.

  What made some days easier than others was when I could start them earlier in the day and then just finish them off later in the day. Sometimes my professional work got in the way though, so I’d have to do it late at night.

  Overall, I hope you guys enjoyed following what I made along the way. Especially if you dropped in and said G’day or commented on my facebook page.

    Cool! Nice job on completing the 30 days.

    Nice work on the whole series, Chris. A very wintery finale.
    The WINTER 92 next year perhaps? June 1 – August 31.

  TW30: Day 29 – Two Men 

  

  Today’s design tells a story. Some of the others do not but this one does. It’s deep, meaningful, concise.

  TW30: Day 28 – iTunes icon 

  

  I never really have liked the newest iTunes icon very much. Thought I’d do something about it, you know what I mean? So TW28 is a replacement icon for it. Peace out.

  TW30: Day 27 – Mont Ventoux 

  

  So the Tour de France is finished, but TW30 isn’t. I wanted to make a bit of an infographic because I love them so much, but they’re quite hard to do in a short amount of time. This is sort of an infographic, but it does show just what the terrain is like in the Tour.

  TW30: Day 26 – That’s how it starts… 

  

  Bit of a muck around with a font. Also wanted to try and achieve a muted look (ie: the beginning / start). Njoy.

  TW30: Day 25 – Watch 

  

  Another interface design after doing the radio earlier in TW30. These are quite fun! The band was a bit rushed but what can you do? YOU CAN’T EXTEND TIME.

    Don’t dig there. Dig it elsewhere. You’re digging it round and it ought to be square. The shape of it’s wrong, it’s much too long, and you can’t put a hole where a hole don’t belong.

  TW30: Day 24 – Direction 

  

  More experimentation with colour and cropping with a photo I took. A little bit Tron like without trying too hard for it to be similar, I guess. The name is a bit uninspiring, but it’ll have to do!

  TW30: Day 23 – Shore 

  

  Quick-ish one for today. Tour de France is taking it out of me a bit (go Cadel!). I like this photo a took, so I decided to do something with it. Simple as that really.

  TW30: Day 22 – SPHR 

  

  I’d like to expand on this style a bit more. Once again, jumped into Cinema 4D and I’m trying to learn how to do a few more things in it. It’s called SPHR ’cause the E’s are missing in the name and because it’s not really a sphere. Ok then.

    Sweet az, dood. Sick as. Okay enough of the ’90s slang. Great work with TW30 Chris, I really like the fonts you’ve used. You’re on track to see it through to the end! What will the finale be like…?

  TW30: Day 21 – Sparky 

  

  So this is what TW30 is all about. I barely ever include people in my work and even in client work I don’t have to Photoshop or Illustrate people too much. So this is good for a bit of a change. Also wanted to spend a bit of time on it (would have liked to have spent a bit more) but that’s OK. Thanks to the model, Amanda for the use of the stock image.

  TW30: Day 20 – IND 

  

  Highly experimental with green being one of my least favourite colours. Especially in personal work. Also tried out a new material on Cinema 4D for the render.

  TW30: Day 19 – Fighter 

  

  Day 19 of the TW30 I’m reasonably happy with. I specifically wanted to do a small, traditional style badge. I then found a nice stock which I manipulated to go with it.

  TW30: Day 18 – Going Loco 

  

  Was a train fan when I was a little tacker. Some days are hard in the TW30, so this refers back to those days (and those bound to be upcoming).
