Well, it's depressing to know I am one year older. Like always, though, I will attempt to look at the bright side, so: at least I can now say "Damn teenagers," and not insult myself! But, even on the day of birth, most everything comes down to working and little play.

I have a wide variety of various projects I am working on at the moment but one of the greatest is that I am now working for OP Digital [link] with a variety of web coding projects. This is great news, both for the experience, contacts and the buff to my resume! But, with that, I've also decided I am crazy enough to start writing a book.

Definitely a long time project, the book will include insight to web design itself--since you see so many coding books, but a rare handful of design books. Unfortunately I can't release too many details, but the book will be a few years in the making, as I'm currently drawing experience from the industry and will most definitely have to keep adding to it. In the mean-time, I may also begin writing a book something like "Dummies guide to web design," but geared more towards a younger crowd that begins that venture in middle / high school. And then, of course, there is that idea for "How to draw Anthros", but... being that just as large of a project and most likely won't draw in as many sales, that will probably come later.

For now, that's what's coming and what's going, but soon I'll at least be able to call myself a college graduate and have a bachelor's degree under my arm.

I've been seeing, actually, a myriad of journal entries about Furcadia. (Don't worry, this whole journal isn't highlighting Furcadia totally, it has to do with Corporate Branding, but Furc is what I am thinking about.) I've posted back to one journal that had to do with Furcadia and it's struggle, but unfortunately, feel like I came off a bit arrogant and cocky. Really not my intention at all, so sorry if I did. But, I wanted to ask all of you your views, instead of just blurting my own.

Whether you play the game or not, what do you think? This is the game I am talking about: [link]

Now... even just seeing the website, do you think that a better website and branding (or, all around image of their service/product) would help this company to bring in new people to their game?

I suppose I even want to ask, is corporate branding important to a company?

If not... why do people spend so much money on it?

I have tried several times to speak to those that run the company that produced Furcadia in order to work on their website and design a new one, since I think it would strengthen their "image" if they updated it with a new look. Do you think it would? If not, why? It seems like; however, they didn't much think it was important. I posted about it on another journal, and the person stated that most of the comments she was getting back wasn't what she was looking for, so she deleted the journal. It makes me feel as if everyone high up in the staff branch of Furcadia wants to sweep these kinds of things under the carpet, as if it doesn't matter or it is hush-hush.

So, that is why I am asking these questions.

What do you think?
