I got it printed! 😀

Recently I reviewed the Artist22 2nd Gen by @xppen

To get a good feel of the product I undertook a small project and developed some sign lettering.

It was good fun using the pen to get hands on with this project!

I look forward to doing more sign lettering like this in future!

Watch the product review, Link is in bio ☝️

Product Review: Artist22 Pen Display (2nd Generati

Product Review: Artist22 Pen Display (2nd Generation) 🔥⁠⁠
⁠⁠
MY FIRST PRODUCT REVIEW!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
For the past few weeks, I have been using the Artist22 Pen Display (2nd Generation) by XP-Pen and I think I may have found my sidekick to my main display.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In this video, I’m going to look at the product more from a design perspective. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So If you're interested in getting more hands-on with your work in a digital way, I think you are really going to like this product. ⁠⁠

Design Insight: Graphic Design Jobs Explained 🔥

Design Insight: Graphic Design Jobs Explained 🔥⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Graphic design in itself can be very broad, for one to say they are a ‘graphic designer’ today can be a very broad term because contemporary graphic design can consist of an extensive range of areas and skills.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It is very common for some designers to specialise in a particular or few areas as they gain more experience in the design industry.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What area of Graphic Design do you specialise in? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
OR which area would you like to specialise in?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In my latest video I outline 11 the key areas of graphic design one can specialise in, in the design industry.⁠⁠

After months of unsettlement, emigration, quarantine, bed hopping and moving house, I'm finally settled in my place.

Moving continent in lockdown has been pretty difficult!

Good bye UK 🇬🇧 hello Australia! 🇦🇺

Back in the studio now, looking to get back on track. Got a line up of new content coming your way soon, which I’ll start rolling out over the next couple of weeks!

Good to be back, see you all soon!

Design Insight 💡Build a Design Brief⁠⁠
⁠⁠
When working on a new project, the best way to ensure your design is meaningful and relevant is to design to a brief. But how can you do this if the client doesn’t give you a brief? 🤔⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If this happens, you may have to build the brief yourself. Now this may sound like a lot of work, but it’s actually quite simple. There are some very easy ways to gain the information you need from the client to ensure you can create a detailed brief.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In my latest video (link in bio 👆) I show you how to create a design brief when you’re not given one. I also share templates that you can download, so you can create a brief for your next project.⁠⁠
