Joining the Cartographers' Guild

Over the last few months I found this really interesting website called the Cartographers' Guild, a large community forum where people go to share their fantasy map projects and post interesting tips on how to improve their fantasy map drawing skills.

What particularly interested me on this site was a post from one of the community members there on the forum about the "Eriond" fantasy map project that they were working on, which featured a tutorial on how to create photorealistic fantasy maps in the GIMP program. This would prove to be of big use for the Youtubia fantasy map project that I am currently working on.  

At an important time where I am currently working on my business idea, I believe that it is important for me to be part of a place where I can share my ideas and be able to build business relationships with other like-minded people in the fantasy world. 

Therefore, I have decided to join the Cartographers' Guild forum and I hope to be able to post my fantasy map projects there as well as on this blog. Conversely, members of the Guild can now explore my blog and can keep an eye out on things in this space. 

Up and away we go,

Jakub

Post-Bootcamp Adventures - DiscoveReads Book Festival

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another blogpost from me! With the world of books and creative writing being closely related to the theme of fantasy worlds, I decided that it would be a great idea for me to share with you my fairly action-packed experience of the DiscoveReads book festival.  What is the DiscoveReads book festival? DiscoveReads is an annual book festival that is run by Suffolk Libraries on the bank holiday weekend in May every year. The 2025 festival hosted talks with six famous authors on a wide range of themes, from fictional novels to real-life political issues, as well as creative writing workshops. In addition to the main event being hosted in the Hold, displays featuring each of the books in the main event also appeared in six different libraries around Suffolk, for those who are unable to make it to Ipswich for the main event.  Tickets to attend events at the festival went up for sale on the 17th of April, with early bird sales running up until the 1...

It's back, and it's more wilder than ever... yes, that's right - it's time to present to you the Make a Difference Bootcamp Grand Finale post from June 2024! As you may or may not know, the Make a Difference Start-up Bootcamp is a series of sessions revolving around social enterprise start-ups that are run by a talented Enterprise Team at the University of Suffolk, and consisted of eight sessions focusing on ideation, marketing and financial planning, starting on the 18th of June, and culminating with this session on the 18th of July, where eight Bootcampers competed for the chance to win a share of £2,000 of the prize money. Without further ado... let's get to the event itself! Grand Finale event The morning of the Grand Finale was mostly uneventful - I went back to the Hold to finish off the rest of Young's book, before deciding to go and have some packed lunch, with which my choices were much less interesting than the lunch that I had before going to last yea...

My experiences of the 2025 Business Start-up Bootcamp - Days 1 to 3

Hello all and welcome back! After going through the DiscoveReads book festival at the Hold (and more specifically, Amanda's workshop) to prepare myself mentally for the next big thing, that big thing is finally here, one week after the book festival - the Business Start-up Bootcamp! So, the June 2025 Bootcamp is a business start-up programme that is run by the Enterprise and Entrepreneurship team at the University of Suffolk. It is set to take place over 12 sessions in the months of May, June and July, with the programme culminating with the grand finale on the 8th of July, where participants will have the chance to pitch for up to £10,000 in funding.  The event takes place on the University Campus, and if you are not familiar with Ipswich (or even the United Kingdom), I am going to show you a picture of the iconic University of Suffolk buildings, located along the waterfront (and it really is stunning!): University of Suffolk campus from the Ipswich Waterfront (August 2021) Day 1:...
