Stephen J Shanabrook - Squashing, folding, flattening Stephen J Shanabrook squashes, folds and flattens his photographs to add depth and texture to his images, I like his work because I haven't seen anything like his work before and it was fun to recreate: I printed out my own photographs and did the same, I like the effect it made on his photographs but it didn't work as well on mine as I used landscapes to match my theme;

"Slat Dance" is a ballet conceived by Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer in the 1920s. The main feature is a specific costume that connects poles to the body of the dancer in order to limit his movements, but also to underline the direction of the movements in space. In Schlemmer's research, the...
Let’s be honest, it is very rare we come across photographers who shake us instantly, make us believe in the magic of photography at its very rawest again; photographers who get engraved in our hearts from the first sight to their work.

Download This Template! Multiple Project Tracking Template Excel Multiple Project Tracking Template Excel Provides a mechanism to track high-level tasks for multiple projects. Easy and simple to use. Project Managers can use this multiple project tracking template to excel daily to updates their senior management. At any point will give a snapshot view of at least 4 projects. Additional projects can be added and can be viewed by scrolling down. Handles up to 5 phases for each project. You can change project phases as per your need, but the same phases will be applicable across all the projects. For each project phase, there is a % percentage complete and comments section. The comments section is useful when there is a need to highlight issues. Tracks up to 4 Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for each phase. Each project KPI has a status 3 statuses - Good, Bad and Worry, Good - when all is good, Worry - when you have concerns about the KPI and Bad - when things have already gone pear-shaped. Provides keynotes and dates section, which can be used to highlight and track key dates. It can also be used to document comments. Each key date or comment has a column for date and status. A status column can also be used to display Green, Amber, and Red status. Generally, help to convey the status in regards to the date. Project Tracking Excel Template This Project Tracking Spreadsheet is for simple projects and can help a project manager in the task and overall management. This spreadsheet has been designed based on IT Projects but, with a little customization, can be used for any project. The project tracker is for simple projects which do not need complex project management software or Gantt charts. The project tracker can help in managing projects which have up to 20 tasks. Suitable for projects which follow waterfall methodology. The Project Tracker has two key sections: The task tracker and timeline tracker. Designed to work with IT Projects so covers different SDLC Phases for each task or component. Each component can be tracked against normal SDLC phases like Analysis, Design, Build, QA, UA, and implementation. Each component will also have a status column that has 5 different statues. The status can be On Track, Concern, Delayed, De-scoped, and On hold. The Progress of each task in the tracker is measured using % complete. Project Tracking Spreadsheet On-track status should be used when things are going fine; the concern is when things are slowing down a bit and delayed when the task is delayed. De-scoped when the task was started in the project but de-scoped. On hold when for some reason, the task has been put on hold. The project timeline provides a view of important or key phases in the project with a start and end date. The timeline also a status column for each phase which is similar to the status for tasks. There is a section for project team details. You can modify the template and use that section for anything you wish. You can modify any of the sections you want as per the project, including the status. The Project Tracking Spreadsheet is easy to use. The only configuration is under the data tab is the task and component status. You can change the status types, but the highlighting will stop working as the conditional formatting will stop working. The particular example used in the article is for a project for website development. The website development project is tracked at two different levels. First, the entire project timeline is on the right side and has only high-level components. Each project phase will consist of several components. Second, the ' level individual components' level has different modules like login, the home page, integration, and other tracking status components. How To Manage Multiple Projects? Managing multiple projects can be done in the following points: Prioritize your Projects: all clients and all projects are equal, but some are more equal than others. Don’t simply assume that all projects are important. Check with your PMO (project management office) or Portfolio Board which projects deliver the most value and prioritize your effort accordingly. If there is no portfolio prioritization, discuss the issue with your project sponsor and project board. Unless you become an ‘octopus’ project manager, it will be impossible to dedicate the same level of love and attention to all projects equally. Prioritize your Own Time: don’t despair with your over-allocation; every day is an opportunity to excel. Start the day by planning what it is that you really need to accomplish that day. Use checklists to set your daily goals and find your ‘secret spot’ where you know you will not be interrupted. It is easy to get distracted if you are in a room full of colleagues, but sometimes you just need to focus on one thing at a time to get the job done. Also, don’t neglect the power of quick wins: they will keep you motivated and certainly please your stakeholders. Distinguish between Importance and Urgency: not everything that is important needs to be done just now. Learn to use your time more effectively by distinguishing between what is urgent and what is important, and manage your time like a president, using the famous principle developed by President Eisenhower. Take care of tasks that are urgent and important first, then urgent but not important. Don’t waste your time with tasks that are neither important nor urgent; you can do them once things are quieter. Manage Dependencies: with so much work, it is easy to have things falling between the cracks and, if these things are dependencies between projects, my friend, you have a problem in your hands. A useful tool to ensure that all dependencies and impacts are identified and timely managed is a Dependencies Log, supported by a Dependencies Map. A Dependencies Map is a powerful mechanism to communicate with your team and stakeholders since it visually represents interfaces and dependencies between projects. Set up a Masterplan: while masterplans and sub-projects are mostly used for managing programs, they can be convenient for managing a set of non-related projects, too, particularly if using the same pool of resources. By putting all your project plans under the ‘umbrella’ of a master plan, you will easily flag dependencies and manage deliverables and the teams' time since all data will be centralized in a single place. Delegate: with so much going on, it’s understandable that you want it all to go according to plan, but you should resist the temptation to micromanage your team's work or the work yourself. You already have plenty on your plate, mate! Project managers tend to play superheroes and be the one and only responsible for all mitigation and resolution plans for risks and issues. Please don’t perpetuate that trend. Delegate some of the work to trusted professionals in your management team. Remember, accountability and responsibility are closely linked concepts, but they are indeed different. Learn to Say ‘No’: pay attention; one of the reasons why you are in your situation in the first place is because you accepted the new project that was assigned to you. Don’t be afraid to say ‘no.’ Often, project managers are too optimistic and overestimate their own capacity; however, make no mistake: problems happen. Be humble and acknowledge your own limitations and how much you can take on. Ask for Help: in some organizations, there are dedicated project support offices (PSO) intended to assist project managers in delivering their projects on time, on a budget, and according to requirements, typically including the secretariat's functions. If you need extra help, contact your PMO or PSO and request a dedicated support analyst to help you out with all the project's planning, tracking, and paperwork. Raise it as a Risk: a good project manager identifies all the key risks that can impact the project, even if that means suggesting that his/her own availability is a concern. When it comes to risk management, communication is essential. By adding your limited availability to promptly address project issues and manage work as a risk in your current projects, you are not showing incompetence or complaining but rather showing your professionalism and giving visibility over a real problem, in this way setting the right expectations to your stakeholders.
