Intro..

Hello everyone!

I've started this blog to keep a log of all the competitions, events, internships and jobs that we all find. Just now my computer is filled with lists of things that I won't apply for, but maybe they will be useful for someone else. Also, I thought it could be good to also add websites of portfolio layouts we like/dislike and blogs that we follow. Any other ideas, feel free to add!

Cheers,

Kyla
