Studio Update #10
I don’t know how many studio updates it’s been. But I’m gonna ballpark it and say 10. From now, I’ll keep numbering these studio updates.
Last week, I wrote this as my summary for our growth focus for this week:
stay on pace with case studies on IG and site, try one video on twitter, get black jays case study out on 1 external publication, organize work into subscription and fixed-bid projects.
Some was done, some was edited, some wasn’t touched. This week was busy at the studio. Retainer clients wanted extra work, started a big web project, closed two older sprints, and wrote 2 proposals for queries. Lots of work and a bunch of deadlines to meet across the board.
We did not end up doing a new case study on the website for this week. The brand we’re working on isn’t finished to the place where we could push that live. I did, however, release a new page on the website. This page is a list of all of our web work and a more detailed overview into the process.
We get a lot of people asking to see the websites we’ve designed and built, so it made sense to organize it into a palatable page with some more information on our web process, testimonials, and deliverables. Check it out: www.hex.inc/web-work
We also submit Black Jays to a publication and posted on IG for the week.
I did not do the Twitter video. Don’t really have anything pressing that I want to do a video for, but this will remain on the radar.
Right now, my main focus is getting our projects delivered and proposals submitted. For growth, I want to push this new project we’re working on into a case study by the end of next week. Again, remaining laser-focused on presentation, showcase, and distribution.
And I’ll do a 60–90 second video breakdown of the Black Jays project and post it on Twitter and IG. This is new but I’m committing to it for next week again. 1% improvement. Make a video.
On a personal note, I’ve been having fun making simple posters again. Just really hype typography, colours and an illustration or two. The one above is a quote I recently read on a twitter thread. It took 15 minutes of iteration but I’m kind of happy where I landed with it. I also did a steel blue version below:
Maybe I’ll do more posters next week. Put together a small gallery of these and throw them on a wall. Could be cool if I find the time.
So from last week
- did not do video
- did ship new page on website + organized work
- did submit Black Jays to publication
- did not ship case study
Not much else to add for this update but a summary from this next week’s goals:
Get a new case study out on HEX site, post a 60–90 second breakdown of the Black Jays project on IG / X, and submit the RFP on our desk. And maybe design a poster or 2 :)
See ya same time next week
