   1. What do you like the best about Nubbytwiglet.com?
   your clear sense of personal style. it’s refreshing and inspiring to see someone who isn’t just trend driven – no bird illustrations here! i love it.

   2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
   just right.

   3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
   being a graphic designer myself, i really value your posts on the industry and your own ideas about design. but i like that you mix it up with everyday stuff, outfits, inspirations, etc. i like the balance that you currently have.

   4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
   i guess an Ask Nubby feature would be pretty cute, but i don’t think it’s necessary.
   if anything i would probably like to hear more about your internship and see more of your work (though i know that’s not always possible!).

   5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
   both. like everyone else i’m attracted to pretty pictures but your blog is so attractive and colourful in itself that i wouldn’t worry if a post didn’t have any images.

   6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?
   you could probably promote your art more (i mean the stuff you are selling).

   1. What do you like the best about Nubbytwiglet.com?
   The fun, creative and colorful “Nubbyness”!

   2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
   I think you’ve hit a very good balance between personal and non-personal.

   3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
   As a visual communications student, I’d *love* to see more about design and marketing!!! I’m intensely curious about what other designer’s perspectives are, how to get one’s name out there, etc. Especially since I’m starting to do a lot of non-school projects.

   4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
   I would love a “Ask Nubby” column!! Especially if we could pick your brain about design and other fun, art related stuff. Your aesthetic inspires me so much!

   5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
   Mixture of both.

   6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?
   Hmm… I think if you did a regular round up type post of graphic and art work you’ve been doing lately, that would be fantastic. I love the little snippets you show from time to time!

   1. What do you like the best about Nubbytwiglet.com?
   I love hearing about your work in graphic design. It’s a subject that I have a real interest in so it is really nice to see how many ways it can be applied. I also love seeing your outfits and the way you decorate your home.

   2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
   I think it’s just right as this is supposed to be your art site and blog.

   3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
   Business and marketing, design and a little more in depth inspiration posts. Maybe talking about the environment you need to work productively or things that inspire you and why.

   4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
   I would love to see an Ask Nubby column. I think the occasional Day in the Life of Nubby post would be interesting.

   5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
   I like a mixture of both, but I do prefer having pictures to go with lots of content.

   6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?
   Maybe mentions of your graphic design influences, or other graphic designers out there that you think people should take a look at? As well as artists. That always interests me.

   1. What do you like the best about Nubbytwiglet.com? The “what you wore today.” I’m a fan of street style and I love yours! My graphic design friend nearly had a kaniption after she saw your stuff though. It’s really unique.

   2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right? just right, You’re sort of selling yourself tied to your art and it works.

   3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else? daily outfits! I like the inspiration posts too though.

   4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
   I’ve bookmarked posts where you gave advice before, so I’m sure it would be useful to your readers. I suppose you could cover more fashion, but I have other blogs for that. I like the mixture you have here.

   5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both? Personally I love image heavy posts.

   6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?

   1. What do you like the best about Nubbytwiglet.com? The design, layout, pretty pictures, bright colours. I love ‘flickr favourites’ because you always pick cool images, and of course ‘what i wore’. Oh, and your fashion notebook is so awesome, inspired me to make my own.

   2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right? I love the personal stuff so i want more, but i have a very stalker-like personality. =D

   3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else? Design and outfits, definitely.

   4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions? Oh, i say bring it on!

    the pictures: your clothing and art are absolutely inspiring. i love your aesthetic of mod-rock-collage.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
    i’d like a little more! especially some pics from your outings, what inspires you, etc.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?

    daily outfits, maybe some insight into the business, like i said above, more of what inspires you.
    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
    not sure about “ask nubby,” but it might be a good idea as long as it was kept short and sweet. personally, i feel that your images speak volumes, so to clutter up your site with alot of words might be a mistake. however, as i said above, some insight might be nice for people who aspire to be creative! lol
    5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
    image heavy generally, but i agree that sometimes, one needs an anecdote or some personal feelings to make the site interesting.

    6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?
    just what i’ve said above! love what you’ve done so far and can’t wait to see what awaits in the future!

    thanks!

    Your design work, style and positive attitude. You seem to have a good idea of who you are, what you like and what you are good at, and that’s very inspirational.

    In addition, the site not only looks good but is very functional.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?

    Just right.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?

    I really like your articles on how to make it as an artist. Practical things. Also I’d like to know more about what and who inspires you.

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?

    I think ‘Ask Nubby’ is a good idea.

    1. What do you like the best about Nubbytwiglet.com?
    There’s a lovely balance in content– it’s personal, reflective, and covers a wide variety of subjects. I enjoy that it can be educational, artistic, fashionable, and more; all of these elements work together to create your brand & identity and create a strong impression.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
    I think the curiosity in me would always love to see a little more personal content in most blogs. However, if you chose not to go more, you are at a good level.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
    I personally love reading your business and marketing posts, as it’s great to see the artist’s take on it (as opposed to my arts admin viewpoint). Personal experiences are always lovely, and who would argue with more design? Especially if there is a way to connect the three topics more.

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
    An “Ask Nubby” column would be sweet and lovely. I think you have lots of ideas and experiences to share.

    5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
    A mixture is lovely, and the balance you have nice works rather nicely.

    6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com? Perhaps a more personal, interaction with readers? More links to share, more personal stories, more engagement with the readers (which I understand can only be done to a certain degree). Otherwise, I think the site’s delightful!

    Wow, even more thoughtful advice. This is such a huge help to hear exactly what all of you want; I should have done this sooner!

    Ashe: I’ll try to add in more interaction and personal content as soon as possible. It’s been a bit tough lately because I’ve been doing more freelance work and sometimes blogging gets momentarily pushed to the the side.

    one thing i always wonder when i look at your photos is: what eyeshadow do you use?

18. Nubby says:

    Hey jaz,

    I use MAC….

    Usually a shimmery white base of ‘crystal avalanche’ all over the lid with a smoky gray called ‘scene’ in the crease. If I want something more dramatic, I do a sparkly black called ‘black tied’ in the corner.

    Hope that helps!

    Graphic design photos, home decor, daily outfit pictures.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?

    Just right. I’ve only been reading for a couple weeks, but the tone of your blog avoids stilted formality and is always full of personality.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?

    Inspirations and even more awesome collages.

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?

    Checking out all of the exciting and fun things you get to do in your life. I love the photos of your outfits, your graphic design work, your insights into business and the art world and your personality.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?

    I think the balance is just right, both sides are interesting and compliment one another.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?

    More of what your working on in design. More daily outfits and telling us about your life in general. I’d like to know more about Portland and the American design scene.

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?

    An ‘Ask Nubby’ question could be a really cool thing. I’d like to know more about how you work, how you juggle school and work…

    5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?

    Both. I think this is an aspect that makes your blog stick out from the rest. Who can resist hot kerning!

    6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?

    I think just keep doing what you are doing right now. Judging from the comments above, you are obviously doing something right. =)

    I love how you’ve managed to combine personal and professional to create a website that is both informative and interesting! I mean, I can come here for inspiration and read one of your super helpful articles, or I can check up on what cute outfit you’re wearing today while I grab a cup of tea and have a break from work! As someone so devout to livejournal I thought I’d never break away and read blogs on other sites, but I actually have a link to yours in my toolbar.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
    I think you’ve struck up the perfect balance.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
    I’d love to read more about how you organize yourself to juggle freelance projects, the blog, your internship and all the other things you get up to. Any professional advice really. Maybe even little design tutorials or helpful hints for the rest of us who don’t have a background in that sort of thing?

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
    The column is a fantastic idea! I’d quite like to read more about blogs v. websites, how you built up your fanbase, networking ideas etc.

    5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
    Personally I like both

    6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?

    The design and photography makes me ooo and aaaah everytime I open it up. The writing quality is also makes it a favorite blog of mine.

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
    I think that there’s the perfect amount. You write so well, that I’m sure that even if there was an excess of personal anecdotes, I wouldn’t mind.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
    I love it when you post inspirations. And your fashion notebook stuff is fantastic. The outfits you make on Polyvore (which since the first post of such, I’ve become addicted to the collaging site) are my favorites, however. More of that would be just brilliant.

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
    Ooooh! That would be fun. I would love to get some insight on all things design-related directly from you.

    5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
    A mixture of both usually suffices. But if one doesn’t really fit with the other for a certain post, that makes sense, too.

    6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?
    I would love more personal interaction with readers. Links and stuff like that. But besides that, keep up the good work. You and your blog are destined for icon status.

    An obvious choice, but the design/art!

    2. Is there too much personal content, too little, or is it just right?
    I think you’re at a good level now but I wouldn’t mind more personal content as I think reading about how other people live their lives is fascinating.

    3. What would you like to see more of (business and marketing, design, daily outfits, personal experiences, inspirations)? Something else?
    I love any type of inspiration post and would love more of those! I always appreciate any type of advisement given in posts.

    4. Is there a topic that you’d like me to cover? How would you feel about a regular ‘Ask Nubby’ column where I answer your questions?
    I think a regular (maybe once weekly?) Ask Nubby column would be fun to read! Also, I think any travel related posts would be wonderful.

    5. Do you prefer image-heavy posts or more content-heavy posts? Or, do you like a mixture of both?
    Definitely a mix.

    6. Is there anything you think could be done to improve your experiences at Nubbytwiglet.com?
    Not at the moment. Everything is A+ right now!
