It's almost the end of August and I've not made a post for this month's IndieWeb Carnival. The child has been on summer holiday, which leads to not much solo thinking time. Marisabel picked an excellent topic which I should have a lot to say about: Colors. Unfortunately my sleep deprived mind struggles to think…| BrittHub
I made a new icon for this website. It’s all been gradually and quietly getting updated over the last few months. First I changed the main typeface to Atkinson Hyperlegible. Then I added a nice subtle texture to the background, it reminds of early computer graphics but at the same time somehow feels like it […]| BrittHub
For this post I traded titles with Zachary Kai. He suggested the title of this post and in return I suggested "A Sense Of Place" for him - a post title that has been sitting in my drafts for nearly a year as I try to gather the thoughts attached to it. Zachary's approach to…| BrittHub
This post is part of the IndieWeb Carnival, June’s topic was chosen by Nick Simson and is explained as Take Two/time travel. A post I made the other day (Updates and Renewals) feels like it would fit very well into this theme as the post was half written in April and half written in June, […]| BrittHub
I created a new zine, it was completed just in time for the Summer Solstice, which feels somewhat thematic. This zine is all about wildflowers that I’ve seen on walks in North East England. This is the second zine I have hand-bound using thread, the first was a portfolio zine I made for a job […]| BrittHub
I started writing this blog post in April. It felt unfinished at the time. It's a very stream of consciousness kind of post. It might not be for everyone. That's OK. The beginning of the year was an odd one. I've lost the monthly rhythm due to the Make & Mend Market being on hold…| britthub.co.uk
I’ve recommended the odd book on my blog, sometimes with an affiliate link for bookshop.org. I’ve attempted to compile the various recent recommendations into a list. For now there’s just one list but perhaps themes will emerge at a later date. Here is a list of books that I love and feel in some way […]| BrittHub
I’ve been using a bullet journal of some sort since about 2016, for events, tasks, plans and sketches. During that time I’ve come across the idea of daily affirmations pages a few times. I’ve always reacted against these, seeming an indulgence for people with perfect calligraphic handwriting, perfect page layouts and perfectly arranged desks. The […]| BrittHub
The fun thing about dyslexia accessibility is that it’s often just good design legibility, if a body of text has the right line spacing, word spacing, a good contrast and no distracting elements then it’s an excellent start. Add a highly legible typeface with unique shapes for each letter and your message is readable by […]| BrittHub
I've recently done a lot of reminiscing about my early interactions with the web, it might be part of a midlife crisis. One of the things that sticks with me is the sense of place and community that a lot of early websites had. Way back in the late 90's and early 2000's my online…| BrittHub
