Project timeline

Year
Achievement
2013-2017
2017
A book draft based on the article series — I set up a new structure around patterns. 30% ready.
2019
An online course. Pattern description format was shaped up, homework templates were added, the framework itself took off. 70% ready.
2020
In Spring I spent 3 months sorting my endless notes for 7 years and updated the chapter structure. I started this series in Mail.ru Group, several years after I joined the company; when I moved to Raiffeisen Bank, I looked at the framework with fresh eyes, as a new person in a company — it enriched the material. 75% ready.
In Summer I finished the final draft of the book. True hardcore stuff. 96% ready.
In Autumn I worked with illustrations and proofreading. It led to being 100% ready.
2021
Editing corrections for the book draft, drawing and translating a couple of hundred diagrams, re-recording the online course in Russian, and starting an online workshop for Smashing Magazine in English. It was a hardcore — 10,000 minor and major corrections in the first round of editing corrections with Alpina publisher, leading to more iterations like that.
2022
Moving to InDesign and making endless updates to have an organic result: text, illustrations, approvals to use images from other authors, website updates to add link index, etc. I would give up if not for Vlad Golovach's help.
