Home page design for Author inc (made with love).
Charlie Hoehn has helped create and shape some amazing books at Author Inc. Even his own work is excellent, especially Play It Away. So, we remade his page, because why not🤷♂️
Designs are all yours @charliehoehn.
P.S. The video in the About section (just below the hero) is temporarily a Rick Roll. We couldn't pull the original video from their current site, and, admittedly, the message..."never gonna give you up, let you down, or desert you", felt too fitting to pass up. Hopefully that lands as intended.
That’s one way to put it.
Make designs that YOU love, and master those styles. Follow people that inspire your creativity, you don’t have to follow everyone that comes your way, you can build your personal follow stack with designers and people that make you a better artist, father, business owner… whatever it may be.
And even if someone is the best at a specific design style… it doesn’t mean I’ll follow them. For example, there are many people I follow that don’t follow me back, and I don’t expect them to, because they might inspire me and my work… but they find THEIR inspiration elsewhere, and that’s ok 👌. The same applies for people who follow me.
So, you don’t have to try to earn my follow, just create work that you love, don’t do it for me or anyone else for that matter. Just make great work, I believe you have the ability to make amazing work. And who knows… you might pop up in my feed one day, and I’ll say “damn! That’s awesome!” *followes* 🤝
Ya know man, I would love to follow and hug every single one of my supporters. However, I really like my X feed filled with designs that inspire me.
So initially, I save my follows for friends, family, coworkers, clients, and of course… designers that inspire my designs. If you keep making killer design work… I’ll follow you and then-sum👊
