Design is to be learnt🗣️

[Halimat A. @Halimatindesign]

Some days I feel like I’m learning too slow, other days too fast which I don’t mind
Am I the only one that feels this way ?

Btw I spent the whole day learning how to use the pen tool on illustrator, started over so many times 😭

I was playing around and somehow ended up here.

Still trying to get a hang of these tools.

@nothalim_pixel @skill_afrika_ Let’s gooo😎

[Halimat A. @Halimatindesign]

Today at the design bootcamp class @skill_afrika_

We are getting familiar with Adobe Illustrator and the instructor made things a bit easier to grasp as a beginner.

And illustrator is quite complex tho

Now, onto my assignment🏃🏾‍♀️

Day 30🙂‍↔️

I followed a TikTok tutorial and made this from scratch on Canva.

I’m not done yet but this is progress for me.
This is also my first attempt since I started my learning

I’ve also been watching design videos on TikTok and taking things bit by bit. I even saw a design tutorial video and I tried to replicate

I’ll share the outcome soon.

Day 28

I haven’t posted here in two days, but I’ve not broken my learning streak even though I got really busy😪

But I’ve been exploring by going through templates, styles, and the elements section (where you can add visuals, graphics, and shapes to enhance your design).
