Good morning Designers! Hope you're all staying safe out there... I'm still working but things are slow.
I wanted to take a quick minute to update you on a change to the channel. For the foreseeable future I'm going to be pulling back to a single upload each week. I haven't landed on a day yet - most likely Tuesday or Wednesday, I'll have made this decision before the next video goes live next week.
I'm making this change for 2 reasons:
1. I want to focus on my quality of content a little more. I feel like now that I'm past the 1k mark I want to add more value to each video. The videos I have done are good and have useful information and tools for designers but I feel like I could add even more value by focusing on the tools being used during the design of an actual project. For example how to incorporate the Appearance panel into your workflow while designing a logo or a business card.
2. The current situation in the world has made me realize I need to focus more on other online / passive income type activities and as such I'm working to start creating new Skillshare classes. I would like release my next Skillshare class before the end of April and then work to release a new class every month for the rest of 2020. These all take time to plan, shoot and edit. Add that to the pile of client work, personal projects, the YouTube channel and life in general and it makes producing 2 videos a week for this channel difficult.
I hope you'll all stick around! Don't think of it as less content, think of it as more focused content with a greater message and learning potential! Stay safe and let me know how you're handling the current global situation in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you.
