Where two weeks has taken us

Well, I must admit that in starting this blog two weeks ago it was initially just an “idea”. I had hoped it would get some interest but I never imagined it’d skyrocket so quickly. I thought I’d take a pause to inform you all of where two weeks has taken us. Yes, it’s been two weeks since we released this project and since then we’ve had 2,248 hits to our blog (and counting). That’s about 1,100 per week! Our most active day was actually yesterday where 346 people were checking out what our blog has to offer.

I’m very thrilled to let you all know that our Flickr account has become a very popular spot on the web. Just yesterday freelance new media designer, author, and speaker, Cameron Moll, graciously linked to our typography poster set from his web site. You can expect to have a lot of people beyond the local design community keeping up with your work. We have been gradually adding student work and photos in Flickr over the last few weeks. To date we’ve posted 181 photos. And since starting our Flickr account last week we’ve had 2,150 total views, most of which have come in the last week. Late last week we upgraded to pro so we’ve been able to organize the work well. Currently you’ll find 15 sets ranging from portfolio to typography – and much, much more. We’ve had 15 people add our Flickr account as a “contact” so they can keep up with the great work you all are doing. Some are students others are people from all ends of the world. Likewise we’ve had 22 people mark student work as “favorites” so they can quickly refer back to the outstanding work we’ve been posting online. Currently the most viewed piece is Reina Castellano’s typography poster with 286 total views.

So keep checking back – I’m anxious to see where the upcoming weeks and months take us!
