Black Friday Design Fun!

Since it's Black Friday, I decided to play around with with Canva a bit and create a holiday themed animated graphic. What do you think? The static image is posted and the animated graphic is linked. 

This is just so much fun! As with writing, I've been a bit of a dabbler in the graphic design arena. It's been something more of a relaxing pleasure than anything professional. 

Although, I have incorporated images and graphics for work-related newsletters and email blasts. But that was a million years ago, and this is really ust for fun. 

But I think this will become a vital portion of allowing myself to display the artwork I create for the blog. It's largely been kept private and for my own creation and viewing experience. Delving into another art form as I continue to focus and grow on the writing should prove interesting. 

Indeed, I've read that exposing one's self to different mediums and types of artistic expression can inspire and foster positivity in the other areas of interest as well. There is just something so freeing and captivating about that process. And it even inspired today's blog po, so perhaps it's already working in my favor! 

I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow's post. It's a special anniversary for me, and I am ruminating and crafting just how I'm going to pay tribute to that. Stay tuned! 

Happy Holidays! ❤️
