Fourteen Days of Quarantine
March 15, 2020
While many of us are stuck at home with limited opportunity to leave the house I started thinking about the kinds of activities that could be fun and intellectually stimulating. Obviously the opprtunity to learn something new or skill up on a discipline we already know is too good to pass up.
Similar to 36 Days of Type or some of the numerous design or development calendars I wanted to create something that would be both new to me and achieveable in the given amount of time.
I’ve listed my ideas down below. I’m going to try to write briefs for them and then post my own attempt here. Feel free to follow along or email me with your own ideas and activities.
