Recap. Some days are easier than others. Some ideas are easier than others. I said they wouldn't all be good. But they need to get better.
These ones worked out well.
Day 1 - children's superhero party
Day 8 - It's that time of year when we rake up the leaves
Day 11 - pub quiz
Day 15 - today we went to IKEA
It's possible I like those better because they are more finished. I think the secret is to choose a good "Op Ed" to start with. That's where all the effort needs to go. Then the design is easy.
The ?ub one is the first result for pub quiz on Google images - I found that out a few days later.
This one is awful.
Day 7 - "Our busy period"
The elephant riding a bike was the most popular on Flickr.
Day 3 - Bizarre as it sounds I need to remember to cycle home today
Type or not type. They seem better when there's type, but maybe that's a coincidence and it's all linked to the stories thing. It's hard to do the type ones justice as a sketch but for the next ten days or so they have to be type based. Mandatory. Let's see if that makes them better.
As this is "my life as a NYT Op Ed column" I'm already thinking these would make a nice newspaper. We'll see.
