Announcements

Hey guys! It's been a while. Many things happened. I want to announce a couple of things to you today.

1. Five years since I joined Dribbble.

Yes. On this exact day 5 years ago I joined Dribbble. I can't describe how deeply the Dribbble experience has changed my life. It made me who I am today and I am really glad and proud to be a part of this community. Hard to believe I was only 14 when I got invited here, and now I'm almost 20 and considered as one of the most successful designers in my country, and the Top #1 Designer by the popularity in my country. Without Dribbble it wouldn't be possible. I also almost reached 6000 followers so let's make it happen today! 😉

2. RMSD Book

For the past month I've been writing my own book called "Rules, Morals, Stories, Designer" or "RMSD" to be short. I consider it to be one of my biggest projects and challenges in my life. As the title says, it's gonna be centred on the design topics and myself. Like how to get successful as a designer, what tools I use, some funny stories and situations with clients, how to avoid problems when working as a freelancer and of course, should designers code? 😄
It's still really rough, because I have a lot of topics to talk about and check the grammar since English is not my mother-tongue. It will be released as an eBook on the iBooks Store and also as a limited hard-cover edition and hopefully it will be out in the first half of 2017. I'm really looking forward to it and hope that both professionals and those who are new to design will like this little read 😊

3. My Website

My website is finally almost finished, but there are some issues right now. I was looking forward to finish my website for #May1Reboot but I couldn't do that. I'm not a great coder and we got quarrelled with my last developer. I am stuck in one place basically being unable to finish it. What I've got left to finish is 4 work pages + mobile with parallax and simple animations. I think it's not really that bad and I will be able to hire a developer to finish it soon, but I would really appreciate if you'd support me with this if there are developers among you!

Thank you and have a great weekend! 🙌
