This week on Quipsologies: A designer's version of a time capsule

Ok, so this project is incredible.  This woman made a timeline broken down by the hour of what she did every HOUR for A YEAR.  A YEAR.



There are no words to describe how much I want to see this project in person.  This is lovely.  It is like a journal but in the context of design and infographics.  Talk about a challenging exercise.  But it would also be a nice resource to be able to show people what we as designers do with our time.  I might be a slow worker, but I still feel my time is completely undervalued as a designer.  Not by Jan and Theresa of course, but by people who aren't designing everyday who just say, "Oh hey can you whip up some poster for me or something?"  Of course I probably could whip it up, but sometimes people just don't understand what goes into design including myself.  I think having something like this would even be beneficial to the creator for self reflection and understanding how one spends their time.
