43.My creative Icons

I am not someone who is easily influenced, just because I really like making things for myself, value quality and have a pretty good sense of self but when I see the creative worksome people produce, I want to be better. Here are some of those people

 Beyonce

When it comes to a concept, there a very few people better at executing and Beyonce. Now it does help that she has a team and a support sytem around her but she is also extremely committed to talent and artistry and I really admire that. You can see that in any of her tour doccumentaries

Doechi 

Doechi is someone I indentify with as an "alternative"(i dont describe myself this way, this s just feedback I've gotten) black girl. Especially recently. And you can tell as she's always striving for creative enlightenment. She's shared her journey  . The link below is a performance she completely choreographed herself Doechii- Stephen Colbert. Everything from the connected braids to the choreography to the outfits show her unique and creative expression.

Thom Browne: Such a strong voice, you can tell exactly who he is from his designs

Camila

Camila is my friend, another student in this class and one of the most creative people I know. She has a brain for concepting that I just wish i had. As well as that, I see how she has been able to gain confidence from being herself and expressing herself.

Allison from work

Allison is someone I recently met. She is an art and creative computing major and is an encyclopedia for creative resources. I believe what you consume plays a huge role in what you created so I really love hearing all the creative resources she has

3. The Weekly: Pt 1

  Hello, and welcome to The Weekly, my weekly rundown of the media I'm consuming, things that inspire me, and my current fixations. 1. Song Of The Week: Silver Springs  You know when you listen to a song several times and you like it well enough- but then suddenly you just get it. Something about Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album always calls to me in the dead of winter. As I dusted off the album for my yearly reboot, I listened to Silver Springs. And then... I finally got it. Something about Stevie Nicks' soulful belt made the icy weather somewhat more bearable. 2. Current Fixation: Helene Moo Sweater's  There are very few things that make me envious, however, there is no greater jealousy I feel than seeing someone huddled up in a cozy knit sweater on a cold winter's day . And when it comes to knit sweaters, the Scandinavian are still yet to be beat. This fact is particularly true for Helene moo- a Norwegian travel influencer who brightens up the cold weather with her c...

44. my favorite creativity tools

Adobe Creative Cloud As a graphic design student, Adobe Creative Cloud is pretty much the holy grail. I honestly can’t imagine my workflow without it. My go-to apps are  Illustrator  (for vector work and logos),  Photoshop  (for image editing and all things visual), and  InDesign  (especially useful for layout design and anything print-related). I also love playing around with  Adobe Fonts —it’s such a great way to discover new typography styles and elevate whatever I'm working on. Canva Don’t sleep on Canva— especially Canva Pro . It’s super intuitive and perfect for quick projects, social media graphics, or presentations when I don’t feel like opening up a more complex program. I love that they have templates that are easy to tweak and make my own. Plus, the font and element libraries are pretty stacked. HP Sprocket or Canon Ivy These mini portable printers are SO fun. I use them to print quick photos from my phone and stick them into my journals or ...
