The one day symposium is soon upon me, and this gives me the opportunity to get my thoughts together. Ever since I was asked to be part of the panel, the theme that I have chosen has been somewhere near the front or side of my thinking.
Naturally I want to do something memorable that I too would like to see and moreso, know.
What this whole proposal writing and speaking has done for me and this topic, is help me to get very clear about what I want to say, know and show.
I have concerns about the way space is looked at in Trinidad and Tobago.
When my late partner Richard Bolai and I started our graphic design partnership, not having a real shingle with a name, but two houses where we freelanced and then came together, was considered a bit unusual.
Doing things that are a bit unusual can make the client feel trepidation. It is important to put them at ease, and to do so quickly. Having an online presence via our blogs and then making those blogs worlds of their own has been a labor of love, but does the average person, whose business we attempt to court, understand our process?
This was something we discussed from time to time, and this was why we placed our design work online in the way that we did.

Now that my partner has died, I am left to re-evaluate what was created online and for an online audience. I am also now looking at his work online from the standpoint of his legacy.
All of this has helped me ask the question myself about space and working in an online setting.There is now so much more that can be done from when we initially started out. Cyberspace is much more negotiable. It is like having started off, one of the few houses on the street, realising that you need to get more than one water source or power source, to now being on a crowded street.
How do you set yourself apart?
I shall answer this question in the next post.
