| CapChord | ||
| </h1> | ||
| </header> | ||
| <div class="readable_width"> | ||
| <p>CapChord is a mobile call-out business that I both personally own and operate. It’s dedicated to helping the elderly and those with limited technical knowledge by providing support with a range of digital tasks.</p> | ||
| <h2>Purpose and Goal</h2> | ||
| <p>The primary directive of CapChord is to allow those without the necessary knowledge to harness the benefits of modern technology without strife. I ensure that clients can comfortably communicate with loved ones, access essential online services, and enjoy the advantages of the information age.</p> | ||
| <h2>Problems and Thought Process</h2> | ||
| <p>I’ve faced a few problems with CapChord. With no formal training in business I had to learn what was necessary for me to start operation. I also noticed that some clients would need not just help, but a full explanation of what I was doing and how I was doing it to assist them in understanding their own technology. This lead me to tailor my operation to explaining and teaching as well as troubleshooting and fixing in a way that is both efficient and effective.</p> | ||
| <h2>Lessons Learned</h2> | ||
| <p>Through this job I’ve learned much. I’ve learnt how to liaise with clients, how to act in a professional environment, and the basics of running a business. It’s also had a large hand in building my confidence as well as other soft skills.</p> | ||

| <div class="readable_width"> | ||
| <p>I’m near certain that most people, at some point, have fantasised about wielding meat as a writing tool. Well, you needn’t wait any longer, as my meat typeface fulfils that dream.</p> | ||
| <p>The brief I received during my Certificate IV in Design was to create a typeface. As long as it had the entire alphabet, both upper and lowercase, anything went. I thought long and hard before settling on meat.</p> | ||
| <p>For a fleeting moment, I considered using actual meat but thought better and instead took it as a wonderful opportunity to learn about Adobe Illustrator’s 3D tools. Using some interesting texturing, I managed to concoct a fleshy, meaty typeface.</p> | ||
| <p>I learned a lot about letter forms during the process and ended up spending a lot of time waiting for Illustrator to compute my 3D shapes. I think it was worth it in the end, as the output was certainly <em>interesting</em>.</p> | ||

| <p>Mutant Remix is an emoji pack built for the chat platform <a href="/blog/Revolt_Promotion">Revolt</a>. It combines the blobby shapes of Android’s emojis of old with the crisp, bold style of Mutant Standard, creating something new and distinct.</p> | ||
| <p>I was tasked with building a website for the platform. A previous contributor already had a design in mind, which I fleshed out, cleaned up, and put to code. I used my static site generator, <a href="https://adduce.vale.rocks">Adduce</a> and put together a site that introduces people to the project.</p> | ||

| <p>For many years, my grandmother has been writing poems. Upon seeing my work, she requested that I compile them into a proper, professionally printed book.</p> | ||
| <p>Using InDesign, I sifted through over 20 years of word documents, photographs, and treasured fragments to create something that would do her poems justice. The layout and styling also incorporate a personal touch, as it was created for someone whom I love very much.</p> | ||
| <p>Beyond creating something that honoured my grandmother’s dedication to poetry, it also proved an excellent opportunity to broaden my knowledge of designing for press and physical mediums, and I gained a lot of knowledge doing it.</p> | ||

| <p>I’m by no means a professional photographer, but these are a series of photos I’ve taken. I don’t have a professional camera, so I use my Nokia G22’s inbuilt camera and then touch them up, where necessary, in Adobe Lightroom. I enjoy taking pictures of the natural world when the opportunity presents itself, although I’m far from opposed to taking pictures of other subjects.</p> | ||
| <p>I upload most of what I take to Unsplash for anyone to use, free of charge. My account is <a href="https://unsplash.com/@outervale">@OuterVale</a>.</p> | ||
