Hello 2011, goodbye 2010

Okay, so I'm a little late to say 'Happy New Year' as we're already eleven days in, but Happy New Year anyway! I've got big plans for this year - firstly, the Howabout website is getting an overhaul to better reflect my graphic design work and to reflect the fact that I am Harrogate based (but with a regional and national reach, obviously). The visuals are more or less complete, and I'm pleased with the way they look, so now its just a case of building the site and getting it live - hopefully that will be complete sooner rather than later.

So far this year, I've completed a nice 4pp newsletter for Beaucare Medical in Harrogate, and am midway through a couple of bits of marketing material for YorkTest in York. Tomorrow I have a big pitch somewhere 'darn sarf' (being deliberately vague here) and it seems that I may have an additional client using my services come late Jan/Feb (being deliberately vague again). All-in-all, not a bad start to the year.

Oh, bought a new (well second hand) car late December as the last one was about to give up on me, so been working on a couple of compilation CDs for in-car listening. What do you reckon to one that includes Ash, Beach Boys, Skids, Julian Casablancas, Chili Peppers, Super Furries, Led Zep, Beatles and Charlatans (amongst others)?
