For There is Always . . .

"For there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it, if only we're brave enough to be it." ~Amanda Gorman

Amanda Gorman reciting her poem, The Hill We Climb, was my favorite part of this year’s Presidential Inauguration Ceremony.

Creating my River Rocks Design

Creating my River Rocks design.

This is my first year taking Make it in Design’s Winter School 2021. I might regret it, but I signed up for all 3 tracks, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. I’ll just keep plugging away on all the designs and get done as much as I can.

River Rocks mood board

The first brief in the Beginner track is Contour. This trend is inspired by natural and organic shapes. I found these photos of river rocks to inspire my design.

River Rock color palette and motifs.

I chose a color palette of earthy shades of purple, green, yellow, and orange from one of my inspiration photos. I hand drew several stone shapes, scanned them, and then traced them in Illustrator.

The completed River Rocks design.

I wanted to make the design an abstract representation of the river rocks so I made the shapes large and then added the colors.

River Rocks design on products in my shop.

I also added the design to my Redbubble shop. It’s available on clothing, home decor, phone cases, plus lots more.
