ConnieCookiee Visual Art DK30 Fall 2021 2 3
Description
For my first DK30, I’m aiming to tidy up my Redbubble store visuals and maybe some socials to make things more matchy-matchy. Designing a new cover image, new icon and upload at least one new design. Will be working each Wednesday, Thursday and Monday.
Recent Updates
I completed my main goal, so I think my project is done!
(definitely didn’t forget to tick it as Completed in the last post)
I did half of the things?
Today marks the final day of my DK30! I’ve done some last minute flinging of things together and declared my cover image/header design done. This was only the first half of my project… but, I do have some ideas for new designs so I would say I have completed over 50% which I think is a win!
I also diverted somewhat this week and made a dozen or so chrismoose cards… \o/
I still need to make some edits to the image to suit other sites with different sizes/layouts, and also make some kind of new icon to go with.
Despite my schedule not going well, I think I’m somewhat happy with what I’ve done, so yay! :3 I’vee just uploaded it to my Redbubble storefront and I think it looks okay!
Hooray for cellophane
Why I decided these cookies should be in a clear cellophane bag, I do not know. Here is bag-in-progress, trying some colours and stuffs, and ‘STICKAH’ is of course temporary.
…not much has happened. Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 happened, yes yes.
Everything is better with cats
…now featuring my good boy, Vivi, and my void demon kitty, Lulu. :3
I somewhat won my battle with the scanner, so we workin’ digitally now.
Also, today I finally updated GIMP to the newest version. Hooray, dark mode.
Week 2 Update:
Despite thinking I had made myself a generous schedule for this project, I am running a couple of days behind. \o/ This poorly put together collection of images is where I’m at so far. Hoping to get more done this evening and will put some extra work in tomorrow in an attempt to get back on track. ^^
Week 1 Update:
Progress has been slow, but things have happened. I’ve made a few mood boards of ideas and have a couple of pages of sketches, doodles and notes for next week.
It’s been a lot of planning and brainstorming, so I don’t really have much to show for it. ^^; Hopefully next week will be better and I shall try to post more updates and some pics.
