I’m building a site that features me interviewing my friends/randos online about their creations or what they make (art, music, writing, etc) but keeping it very hyperlocal. It’s my first time having something I’ve put together and still learning
I thought everything had to be perfect at first but I just got Cargo, messed around with formatting and color palettes, and sourcing the content from interviews or my own writing! Good luck! Get creative!

Been seeing so many of the “I rebranded this company the way I thought would look cool” and I always thought that was corny / silly / an easy cop out creatively. And then this weekend while on vacation I thought of a brand I’m really into and thought why not try???
Turns out sometimes it’s fun to just do the thing. In 2025 I’m trying to keep an open mind with these design prompts and lean into them as opposed to critique them from a distance.

Since you work multi-media I find it so helpful to start creating in one medium, loosely express the foundational emotions in another, and then come back with a more fleshed out plan!
Also, going into creating without expectation of anything being perfect any time soon lessens the never-ending cycle of “write-edit-rewrite”

...is what I tell myself. I have seen peoples' careers take off in mere months because they're taking on any and every kind of work. To me, that seems like Just Another Job™️ territory, and I'm not willing to accept that kind of creative death. I just do the kind of creative work I want, so I'm ok with it taking a long time to find my audience (there always is one, and you will find it!) I think the thing that held me back the longest was my own social anxiety and insular tendencies - nobody can learn about what you're doing if it's in a vacuum! I really don't like the term networking, but just keep doing the things you love and pick up on like-minded people along the way.
Edit: Oh, and applying to open calls for group zines or art shows is a great way to find more of those people!
