Right now we’re in the UK’s third national lockdown, so it’s no surprise that we aren’t doing great. Personally, I’m happiest when productive but I acknowledge just existing right now is such a challenge however I’ve decided after a few weeks of being incredibly unmotivated to pick up the slack and to stop being miserable by setting myself some goals to keep me focused and hopefully I can at-least feel I’m gaining something from sitting at home for almost a year!
Soooo first of all I’m temporarily closing my shop to focus more on editorial work and hopefully gain some merchandise partnerships to reach a wider audience and also get my work onto different products rather than just prints! Also my Squarespace subscription is almost coming to an end and I don’t want to pay the extra bit for an online shop rn🥲 SO in order to clear some stock and start fresh this new year I’m running a big ol’ SALE! 🌟
Quite a lot is already sold out so be quick if you have your eye on something! Just enter the code NEWYEAR40 at the checkout for a whopping 40% off anything and everything ✨ until the 11th of Jan ✨
I’m pretty confident in my illustrations skill alone but when it comes to anything remotely related or graphic design-ey I’m useless. So I’ve decided to focus on 3 areas, which I feel will all work together and in general improve my overall design expertise! 👩🏼💻
These are:
patterns, which I’ve done before and absolutely loved
packaging, which I’ve vaguely dabbled in
and typography which I absolutely despise because I’m so horrendous at it but 100% recognise its value.
To start, I made two text based posts to announce my 2021 goals and sale for my Instagram, I felt this was a good test of the waters! It’s definitely not the best, but it does the job.
Watch this space to see if I can keep up this motivation and stick with these 3 goals😙✌🏻
