I’m sure this is only the tip of the iceberg, so please leave a comment and share your favourite joke this year. One thing is for certain though: Google are king when it comes to April Fools.

Happy Holidays

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!

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!
