Make It In Design Summer School-Moodboards

August 02, 2016 in Design Inspiration, Patterns, Project, ABSPD

Hey, y'all!

It's a busy week for me as I begin to tackle the creative briefs for Make it in Design Summer School

I'm taking all three tracks-beginner, intermediate and advanced-so I have THREE projects that I'm currently working on. These are all due next Thursday, so I need to get going on my pattern ideas. I finished my moodboards for all three this morning, and I thought I'd share my whole process here! The three themes are French Riviera, Meadowland, and Pop Art. Below are my moodboards, and I'll be sure to post some in-progress sketches as I go!

Day 2/50 #50daysofsummerdesigns

June 14, 2016 in Project, #50daysofsummerdesigns

Here's day 2 of my 50 days of summer designs project! I'm obsessed with all things flamingo for the summer, and wanted to throw together a quick and cute flamingo pattern for today. I'll definitely be going more in-depth and creating some more fun flamingo designs in the future! That's all for now!

Summertime is the best time

Hola!

I know....it's been awhile. Like, a long while. I've been pretty busy the past couple of weeks laying on the beach, my skin burning (don't worry...it's starting to turn into a tan now), and not having a care in the world. We spent two weeks in Alabama visiting family and friends: one week in Cullman and one week in Gulf Shores. I needed the beach in my life. It had been about three years since I've been to the gulf, and I desperately needed to be there. All in all, it was a great trip and a very relaxing vacation. However, now it's time to get back to business and create some stuff.

I'm starting a project that will last for the next 50 days-until August 1st (because that's when I start the Make It In Design Summer School, and I'll be super busy in August.)

I'm going to create one summer-themed design every day for the next 50 days. This will hold me accountable for constantly creating new work, and will hopefully be an inspiration for others to start their own projects this summer. I'll publish each new design on my blog here, as well as on Instagram and Twitter. I'll be working on patterns, hand lettering, and illustrations that revolve around summer in some way. I love summertime, so this should be a really fun project! I hope y'all enjoy it too!

Here is my first design for day 1 of #50daysofsummerdesigns

I'll see you here tomorrow for day 2!
