While zeal is the last word of Alpha Projects, I’m committing to one more post, an afterword with a colophon. Stay tuned for that post where I’ll share reflections on a year of projects. For now, let’s check out zeal.
ALPHA BITS

For the illustration, my inspiration took me in a circle and brought me back to something with zeal (and dazzle). P.S. Sometimes goats are not GOAT.🐐🦓🦓
Project ideas that didn’t make the cut included creating a silly religion or expressing zeal for Z aka making many z-themed projects.
Inspired by the recent Alpha Quests, I evolved the concept to become Alpha Month, a 26-person cohort-based creative lab. I then made my second Carrd landing page to validate whether there’s desire for the idea.
