@kavirkaycee Radical! The acoustics must have been amazing!?

A mood board is where a brand’s visual story begins — the foundation for its colors, textures, and tone.

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

As designers, we all know how important it is to show our work — but finding the time to document it is always a challenge.
I’m finally taking time to document a few projects. Here’s a WIP of the thumbnail image and mood board for https://t.co/JOv7CbZkBk.
Case study coming soon!

I feel that the design complete when it's executed as designed.

In my experience it take multiple iterations with developers to get it right .
An example of how I share feedback with the team.

Does anybody have similar challenges? Would love to hear how you have solved it!

@jasonleowsg @felix12777 @kavirkaycee @carrd @creatorcafeHQ Sorry, don’t remember. been so long! But it could have been a basic section template.

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

@jasonleowsg @felix12777 @kavirkaycee @carrd @creatorcafeHQ Yes, it was a Carrd template!

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

@jasonleowsg @felix12777 @kavirkaycee @carrd @creatorcafeHQ Thanks much! Started out with a template and then customised it for our need ✨

@dataheartist No! let me check

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

@FonsMans @figma AR/VR is such an exciting space! Don't know of any designers making interfaces, but surely most 3D software will be able to prototype scenes.

I wonder if we even need an interface for these realities, it can be completely re-imagined.

@kavirkaycee Very true! I am reading this book by Stan Wenck, Susan Reynolds, and Teresa Aubele and it's scientifically proven that being mindful can rewire your brain.

@dataheartist What a revelation! When the world was in the pre-smartphone era, it was ok not to be available all the time :).

Surprisingly, I feel less FOMO with the phone in my pocket. If somebody needs me, am available.

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

Musicians don't have a favorite note. They create music from a symphony of notes.
Then, why should a designer have a favorite color? Create with a symphony of colors!

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

@Shubham_dhawan These are great resources! Yes, creative block is real, and all of us go through it. For me, just stepping out and going for a walk helps!

It is also scientifically proven that the best ideas come when you are not doing much :)

[Aparajith Aradhya @a_aparajith]

Gut feeling is great, but data-driven design is everything for a successful product.
Because designers are not always the users.

3 weeks of habit journaling and 2 paintings for the Banglore Blooms project. Not bad!

@DariusForoux So true! In fact, zero expectations lead to better results. It's the antidote for procrastination!
