Day by Day

2016—2017
365-day marathon, Daily concept series

365 days marathon of concept creation turned into a visual blog dedicated to different concepts exploration featuring works in progress, experiments, tests and notes.

Made with Adobe Comp, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Maxon Cinema 4D, Glitche App and others.

365
Days
One post a day, every day, for a full year.
1
Rule
Finish something — anything — before the day ends.
February 2016, days 01—19
Opening days
February 2016, Days 01—19
The first nineteen days. Setting the ritual — one post before sunset. Vector shapes, color fields, quick typographic sketches. A warm-up as the habit takes shape.
Finding the rhythm
March 2016, Days 20—50
A month of finding the groove. Color studies stretch into form studies; type settles into a voice. The first modest experiments with Cinema 4D appear — a single primitive, a single light.
March 2016, days 20—50
April 2016, days 51—80
Vector and motion
April 2016, Days 51—80
The marathon loosens into motion. Vector work gets animated in After Effects, type starts to move. Some days quick, some overnight experiments.
—One rule. Finish something before the day ends. A sketch counts. A half-idea counts. Nothing, never.
On the rule
Typographic experiments
May 2016, Days 81—111
A month on letterforms. Glyph studies, spacing tests, typographic compositions. A few Illustrator-heavy days alongside pure photography.
May 2016, days 81—111
June 2016, days 112—141
Glitch and distortion
June 2016, Days 112—141
Halfway through the first half. Entries start to break. Glitche App, pixel-sorting, intentionally disrupted surfaces. The visual vocabulary widens.
3D settles in
July 2016, Days 142—172
Cinema 4D becomes the workhorse. Spheres, primitive shapes, simple lighting setups. The first Octane renders appear; material practice begins.
July 2016, days 142—172
August 2016, days 173—203
Mid-year milestone
August 2016, Days 173—203
Past the two-hundred mark. Richer 3D scenes — blend-and-fold, voronoy fracture, inflated primitives. Type and 3D start to converge in single compositions.
Compositional studies
September 2016, Days 204—233
A quieter month. Studio-still compositions, color relationships, photographic exposure tests. Less volume, more care per post.
September 2016, days 204—233
—Around day sixty, the ritual was locked in.
Mid-marathon
October 2016, days 234—264
Color and material
October 2016, Days 234—264
Material practice. Marble, metal, plastic, iridescent finishes. Octane becomes the tool of choice for refraction studies and surface tests.
Late-year experiments
November 2016, Days 265—294
Second wind. Interpolation tests, type distortion, looping motion. The first Iconoteka previews appear — the icon library taking shape in the background.
November 2016, days 265—294
December 2016, days 295—325
Year-end push
December 2016, Days 295—325
Thirty-one days, no breaks. Cleaner compositions, harder edges. Several entries read like finished pieces rather than sketches — output quality reaching a peak.
Final stretch
January 2017, Days 326—356
The last full month. Typography-forward work, iridescent surfaces, Ginto Nord studies. Entries get more deliberate.
January 2017, days 326—356
February 2017, days 357—365
Closing days
February 2017, Days 357—365
Nine days to finish. The marathon closes on February 17, one year from the opening post. Archive complete.
