I want to wish you all happy holidays and a great start in 2010. Furthermore this is a great opportunity for me to say thanks to you for all your support over the last year. You are incredible and I couldn’t have done it without you. While I started my freelance career after graduating in summer I did not write as much as I hoped. I can promise you however that this will change in 2010. I will use these festive days to come up with new ideas for freebies and tutorials.
So once again: Thanks for always being supportive and I hope you have a lovely time with your friends and family!

Over the last months I’ve been busy working on the redesign of fudgegraphics and today it is finally live. As many of you know personal designs are the hardest to do because we are never truly happy and always want to make it look that more special. Hence it takes longer than expected.
So what’s new then?
The logo hasn’t changed much, after all it is the most important branding tool and I want people to still recognize the site. Same goes for the overall colour scheme, although I switched to brown tones to compliment the blue.

A little over a year ago fudgegraphics was born. In order to celebrate this special birthday I will start the Anniversary Series. During the next couple weeks you can expect different roundup posts of all the different freebies available on fudgegraphics, the master collection of all featured artists and I will give you an insight into the journey which has been this blog. Another article will concentrate on the future of fudgegraphics. At the end there will be a massive giveaway. I am still looking for sponsors and I would love to have you on board. So please get in touch if you’re interested.
Due to exams I cannot give a definite schedule of all the different posts. Rest assured though that I will do my best to publish the articles as soon as possible. I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed. This way you won’t miss anything.
Last but not least I want to say thank you. Thank you to all of my regular and new readers, thanks for leaving comments and posting your designs in the fudgegraphics Flickr group. Thank you to my sponsors! And a huge thank you goes out to the whole design community which inspires and supports me.
Happy Birthday!

In an attempt to get more subscribers I’m trying to do it the in-your-face way with a huge RSS button. For those who are already subscribed to fudgegraphics: well done! For those who haven’t signed up yet let me tell you why you should do so:
- It’s completely free
- You will never miss a post or freebie again
- You get full feeds on fudgegraphics not just excerpts
- Read the updates in your favourite feed reader or get them via e-mail
- It saves you time
If you’re new to RSS feeds don’t fear it’s really easy to set up. Either download one of many desktop based readers such as NetNewsWire or open a Google Reader Account which you can access anytime and anywhere. Alternatively you can subscribe for e-mail updates.
Make sure to visit Colorburned’s 127 RSS Feeds that all designers should subscribe to.

Jonathan Haggard, aka skryingbreath, just redesigned and updated his portfolio. He was one of the first featured artist here on fudgegraphics and I just can’t get enough of his retro graphics. Please visit jonathanggard.com to see all his latest designs and his gorgeously minimalistic website.
