I learned how to animate my logo!!!
I did it all in Photoshop. It was surprisingly easy and fast- well, fast because it consists of three frames, two colors, and one frame is a repeat. I am so fucking PROUD of myself right now! This is a bit of a hurdle cleared on the road to Successful Podcast Friday. I'm going to use it somehow in the intro. And, fortunately, I just had the foresight to save it without the background too, so it'll be more versatile.
Ok, SO!
To Do list:
- Download Windows Movie Maker, maker that movie program my bitch.
- Make a final decision on intro and outro music for podcast.
- Figure out how to best position laptop for maximum flattering angleage. I don't wanna be showing off my impressive double chin for an hour, people might feel inadequate.
- Remember to include warning in intro graphics- this is not a podcast to listen to with impressionable kids around. I'm not going to fucking censor myself, sorry not sorry.
-Gather list of topics to discuss, and in order, for first podcast. Also gather list of yarns, WIPs, etc to be discussed. These are the physical things I'll be showing off.
- Decide what I'm doing for Free Pattern Friday- I've decided that the first Friday of every month will be Free Pattern Friday. I've got about three lined up, just have to decide which is which.
- Sniff around WordPress, set up WordPress. Move blog stuff over to WordPress, change Ravelry link for Vermeer bracelet.
- Finish knitting needed for Free Pattern Friday, if any.
- Might wanna practice makeup. I'm pretty good (meaning I'm a pro at eye makeup, and I don't wear much else) but maybe look at self on camera and evaluate if something needs to change. It's not that I'm aiming to be Miss America, but I would like to present myself in a certain way to potential viewers. I don't go out shopping without changing into non pajamas and brushing my hair, why should meeting strangers on the internet be any different?
Annnnnd I think that's all. I'll come back to this tomorrow night to see what I've gotten done, and to add to it if need be.
I'M. SO. EXCITED.
Did I mention I'm really fucking proud of myself? Hang on a minute, I wanna talk about it. I am one woman. And I am wearing a LOT of different hats right now, for this fledgling business. I am the supply buyer, the product producer, the social media marketer on 4- soon to be 5- platforms, the promoter, the shipping and handling wench, the graphic designer (now with animation!), the podcast director and producer, and the creative direction. I am EIGHT PEOPLE in one. The decision to make this a success came with the realization that I needed to expand my knowledge and my skill set tremendously. Are things happening overnight? Fuck no. Can I see myself grinning about a much larger bank account balance a year from now? Fuck yes. I'm in this for the long haul. I'm not giving up. With each foot hold I find, and each step up I climb, I'm getting out of the hole I dug myself into. I am smart, I am capable, and I am strong. And I will always find a way.
