It was only January just gone when I launched version 4 of seanjohnson.net but I’ve never been totally happy with it, so I’ve managed to find some time in my busy life to revisit this sketchbook idea I had a while back. If you’ve been following my Twitter feed you’ll see I’ve been pulling my hair out over a few things, but I wanted this live as soon as, so I’ve ditched a couple of bits and will be feeding these back in over the next few weeks. Please feel free to leave comments and let me know what you think.

I – that’s me, as in Sean Johnson!
Create - to produce through artistic or imaginative effort.
Things – graphics, websites, animations, photos, music, etc.
Today I noticed a referral link to my site from sean-johnson.com (no relation!) who had a concern over my tagline of ‘I create things’. Upon searching his site I could only find the phrase in his introduction on his home page.
“My name is Sean Johnson. I create things. I live in Chicago and split my time working…”
Now, where as I didn’t copy it from him, I will put my hands and say I did steal the idea from somewhere else, and I have no problem in admitting that, remember - Good Designers Copy, Great Designers Steal
Also, if you Google “I create things” you’ll see it’s a popular phrase with over 20000 results. You’ll also notice that a search for “Sean Johnson” (of which I’m the first organic result) brings back over 60000. So, for two creative people who share a common name to share the same descriptive phrase ain’t so bad, is it?

It’s a little over half way through the year and time to review the personal goals I set myself last New Year. It’s been hectic and I’m certainly not half way through the list, which includes;
7. Blog at least once per week.
I guess the best way to accomplish this is set up my own blog, right? So, armed with Wordpress and few handy plug-ins, here we go…
