I’m having so much fun creating digital downloads for my Etsy store. I’ve always been creative, but this is really enjoyable! I have quite a few designs “in the works” and will be posting them soon. Even though I have never considered myself a graphic designer, my customers tell me that I have an “eye” for design.
I love trying out new technologies and apps. Canva is lots of fun to use and I am designing a set of videos to show how to use it. For my digital downloads, I either purchase artwork from other creatives or design my own.
My creative process for digitals starts with an idea. Sometimes it takes a while to form that idea. I might wake up in the night with a fully formed idea in my head – something that I had puzzled over just hours before. It is amazing how our creative mind works!
Once I have the idea, I have to work out how to get it from my mind to my computer screen! I may need a new app or a font to really corner the design the way I want. Once the design takes shape, I may post it in my Etsy store or perhaps just use the design personally. Either way, the process of designing is very satisfying.
Have you ventured into creating digital assets yet? Give it a try if you haven’t yet!
