This month’s monthly blog post I thought I would use this opportunity to share some of graphic river resources, which I have created in 2021. Graphic is a digital marketplace where designer, creatives any in fact can purchase design resources. Its quiet time-consuming process and take hours upon to high-quality resources, buts its very enjoyable and a great way as designer to build an additional income stream.
In this blog post will be previewing link to 5 design resources I’ve created, and links to where those resources viewed on Graphic river.
This has been an incredibly enjoyable project to have worked on the past few weeks. This is a new addition to the Timothyblake.com website. The new page is a Cycling Dashboard, which essentially acts as cycling diary capturing my last 30 bike rides and outputting some great stats on those bike rides, also map which shows a heatmap of last 10 bike rides.
The website uses my Garmin watch data, which I use for recording my bike ride the distance, elevation speed etc. This data is the synced with Strava. Strava has an API, which I’m currently using the API feed to pull through my cycling data onto a page.
The cycling dashboard collates together my last 30 rides into a table allowing me have an overview to view of data on recent bikes rides the data includes ride time, distance, heart rate, speed, max speed, activity time and date. There’s also an induvial page for each ride, which breaks down the ride data even further, and displays a map of the route I cycled. This has been fun project and webpage I visit after almost every bike ride.
A new massive milestone reached on Unsplash over 2 million photo views on my profile. A massive thank you to everyone who has viewed one of my photos, and even download or used in a project.
Photography is hobby of mine, which I don’t spend an awful lot of time on refining that skill set. Its absolutely jaw dropping that I’ve reached 2 million page views across all my photos combined. On average i receive 100,000 views a month. Its been difficult taking new photos, because of the covid-19 pandemic to capture new photographs, but hopefully all being well I capture new photographs towards the end of the year.

This is a great blog post, which I have really enjoyed crafting together. I can easily say 2020 has been one of the most bizarre years.
