Re: Honing Your Craft

What ways are you furthering your skills in your spare time?
I semi-recently took a design-a-day blog challenge (with which I no longer keep up), but I guess it's the thought that counts. I also like to draw in my spare time, which helps improve my illustration skills.

How has this benefited you as a designer?
While I was still doing it, it forced me to think of different design problems and how to solve them. It also allowed me to practice my illustration technique.

Are there any sites you visit that help you sharpen your skills and techniques?
Google is my friend. Also YouTube, and Pinterest often has a lot of inspiring images. Actually my usual technique is to hop on Google and beat it with a stick until it gives me what I want. It hasn't failed me yet! :D

Any secret cures for the common cold? :)
I'm sorry to hear about your cold. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is my grandpa's strengthening soup (chicken soup with special herbs). I don't know which herbs he used to put in it, but I do know he always added wolfberries at the end (also called goji berries). Try cooking some in chicken broth, it can't hurt.
