UPDATE: THE PINPOINT METHOD PROGRESS

The Pinpoint Crew and I have been a busy bees lately. I'm adding creatives to the map everyday and we are so close to having the site 100% for the official launch. I know I've been saying we are day away for a couple of weeks, but we want it to perfect. I can't wait to share our adventures with you! Since I don't have the site to show you, I took a few screen shots of where we are at...

The Pinpoint Method landing page. This is what you will see if you go to thepinpointmethod.com right now. It will continue to be the welcome page and eventually act as a form of navigation. When you click on a state, it will pull up all the interviews and entries from creatives in that area. We are probably 4 months from having enough posts from around the states to make this a function.  about page

Here's a peek at the start of the about page. On the right hand side where it says 'any additional... want' will be a photo of each of the crew members and their contact information. Right now the crew list is as follows: Kelly Garcia, Brandi Lisenbe, Korey Prescott, Susan Schultz, Micah Bickham, Josephine Heidepriem and Will Swain. I look forward to adding to the crew along the way and letting the project evolve as we bring on creatives from around the States.

Oh, and the logo (which will be done by the time we launch) will be in the left hand corner where you currently see 'the pinpoint method'.

I love updating the investors page and seeing where supports are located. UNITED KINGDOM! RHODE ISLAND! That's pretty exciting. Seeing that encourages me to go big with the project everyday. 

I think last time I posted an update we were at $400 in donations. Now, with only 40 days left we are at $1050 in donations. That's roughly 1/5 of the goal amount! Thank you to everyone who has mentioned the project to someone, given me advice, referred a friend, left a kind comment, 'liked' the facebook page, donated money or equipment, participated, and for believing in this project. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I have received so far and am working my butt off to deliver the best.

Thanks so much for keeping up with the updates! I post often on the Facebook page, and update page on Indie go go. We recently added Ali Marie + Dolan Geiman, Bethany + Josh Newman (ST8MNT), Brandi Price (The Diamond Center), and more.

UPDATE ON KELLY'S PROJECT: THE PINPOINT METHOD

You may remember my post in January about launching a HUGE project in February... Well, like most things done for the first time, there were some unforeseen kinks to work out before the launch. After almost of year of planning, holding back a month just about killed me. I am beyond stoked to to inform you the kinks are gone and I have OFFICIALLY launched my Indie-Go-Go page for The Pinpoint Method this afternoon!
 ------------------------------------------------- FIND ME HERE ----------------------------------------->>

The Pinpoint Method is a journey across the states to meet with creatives in any field of design to accomplish a few things. First, to show what it is that Designers actually do and how it relates to you everyday. Second, to focus mainly on smaller cities to prove that success in design isn't found only in mega cities. Good design really does happen everywhere. 

Starting in this Spring (2012), I will be setting out on an adventure to meet with designers across America. Whether they're a costume designer, lighting designer, print designer, shoe designer, web designer, or industrial designer, I'm going to meet with them (interview, collaborate, etc...) to observe and then share with you what it is these designers do. Along the way, I will be writing about my journey, posting photos and videos, and sharing my experience with you at thepinpointmethod.com.

Since I love collaborating and believe it leads to some of the best work, I will be including the talents of my friends to take this journey a step further. Along the way, photographers, videographers, and other creative brains in my crew will be meeting up with me in different cities to professionally shoot what's going on so I can efficiently relay the Designer's story.

At the end of collecting photos, footage and priceless knowledge for a year, I am going to put everything into a Design Lifestyle documentary. 

Good design happens everywhere and we're setting out to find it!

To read a little more about the project, visit the Facebook page or the Indie-go-go page. To keep up with all Pinpoint updates, follow the journey on Twitter.

If you have never heard of Indie-Go-Go, it is a safe platform used for a variety of feilds to raise funds for projects. There are 8 levels of donations available with awesome perks, such as Bueno Bueno key necklaces, shirts, posters, exclusive updates, etc... Thank you to all the creatives who have donated a design for donors!

Thanks for all the support!

**Sunday update: Hi, I just wanted to let you know the first five donors have put this project at $340.00! Thank you so much Justin, Vania, Erika, Heather Nikole, and Anonymous. Thank you all for being the first to financial support this journey!**

KELLY'S PROJECT UPDATE

Web site design inspiration

Last July, I posted about a big project that I would be diving into this year and left you hanging with "I promise to share" and trust me, I've been wanting to so badly. I'm getting closer to launching the project and I couldn't be more stoked! I was going to wait to post about it until my official launch date (ahem, February 1, 2012), but someone left a comment a few weeks back asking about my progress, so anonymous commenter, this sneak peak is for you. 

The name of my project is The Pinpoint Method and it involves, design, travel, interviews, a great crew  and a crazy amount of fun. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and encouraged me along the way. I look forward to all the adventures to come!

Well, I hope this can hold you over until I launch the project next week!

xo!
