BLOOM ANTHOLOGY, vol. 1

Bloom is a newly established mixed media anthology and international digital collective curated around a selected monthly theme, run by students between the ages of 17-24. We are focused on sharing short form prose, poetry, photography and artwork in the form of monthly issues. Through this, we hope to build a platform to highlight and uplift the voices of young hobbyist creatives.

2.3.19 // 🎧 LPOTL

There’s so much to do today! I thought I’d have a day off, but it seems like I won’t! Lots of orders are in right now, and I have a lot to work on for upcoming projects. So, it looks like I’ll be putting in some extra work today!

One More Day of Productivity, Day 156

Sunday, February 3, 2019

So I just spend like 45 minutes redoing my blog theme. Fiiiinally found one that didn’t make my content look like a potato. If you’re on desktop, you’ll notice the brand new addition of my face on the sidebar! If you’re on mobile, my face is technically also includes in the header image, but it’s kind of overshadowed by the SHEER BRIGHTNESS of the South Carolina sun.

Anyway, today was really good! I’m trying a new thing with my planner, continuing on from that 20-minute rotation idea I had last week. In order to make sure the most important thing gets hit first, and also acknowledging that the most important thing is prone to shifting, I grabbed some arrow flags and assigned top 5 priorities. Tomorrow I’m going to be spending most of the day at the library—actually reading books! It’ll be great!—so we’ll see how this system works.

Graphic Design Portfolio Sites

Key things to remember when creating a portfolio website Main Writer: @allydsgn | Allyson Arrogante

Welcome to the Spring Semester, when most design students have either started looking into jobs or even started interviewing for them. Design conferences are holding job fairs and design communities are hosting reviews. Portfolio, business cards, and business-casual outfits either ready to go or in progress, students are trying to make sure they check off every box for what they need to be the best candidate graduating in town this semester.

Studioblr Collective is here to help you check one of those boxes off, and that’s your Portfolio website. Some students use their portfolio website as their portfolio book as well, bringing iPads and laptops to interviews and conferences to click through, so we found this topic to be a big necessity to write at this time of year.

What are we covering?

  1. Why should you have a portfolio site
  2. What should be on your site
  3. How to format what’s in it
  4. How and where to build your site

Disclaimer: you will hear different advice from different people, so please, as always, when you hear advice take what you think applies to you and leave behind what you think does not work. Be responsible for your decisions and believe in them, don’t do something just because someone else told you to.

2019

Hello all, Allyson here!

The Studioblr Collective has been quiet for some time and that’s completely my fault, but the plan is to start anew in 2019!

We’ve got some great volunteers in the Studioblr Chat Discord server that are willing to help me with producing content and sharing great things about the art and design world. Personally, now that I’m graduated with a full-time design job, I feel even more qualified and more available to share some things I’ve learned and help direct this content in a more professional direction. I’d love for this to be a bigger blog and possibly site one day, but for now, articles, tips, features, and more on a Tumblr blog (and we’re planning also an Instagram) will be what we’re planning to achieve in 2019.

If anyone is interested in joining in this escapade you’ll have to be okay with using Google Drive and join the Discord server (sorry that’s where we’re discussing things) and let me know that you’re interested. You’ll get a role on the server for it to access the channel and stuff.

Responsibilities include helping write/brainstorm content and help to answer questions that we receive through the blog. We’ve gotten some asks already that I feel unqualified to answer, so I do need this team in order for this blog to continue being as helpful as it’s been in the past.

Anyway, happy 2018, and can’t wait to see what unfolds in 2019!

Ways to Ideate!

Priyansh Mangal | Thursday, June 7th, 2018

Hello, everyone! I feel that as either final projects come along or as you start summer ones, it may be good to address the different ways I’ve learned to get inspired or to ideate! Here’s a quick list of tips that could possibly help creatives out!

  • Visit your subject matter! Say your project is to design branding or a poster (or maybe just make an illustration) for… a movie theatre or a coffee shop. Go to that theatre or that coffee shop! You may know how these places look like and you may go there so frequently that you could draw it from memory, but being there and in the scene will definitely get some ideas rolling. Instead of the cliche “oh, coffee shop means I need a mug” or “movie theatre means I should use popcorn”, you can grab a lot of creative ideas from the vibe of areas as well!
  • Do your research! This sort of goes hand in hand with visiting your subject matter. We’ll continue the coffee shop example… where does coffee come from? Is that company known for something specific about their coffee? What makes their coffee so great? Make sure you’re still in the essence of coffee. Why do people go to coffee shops? Ask all the questions that you can because your answers may spark something.
  • Make an inspiration board! I used to be against this when I was younger because I thought I would get an idea in my head from someone else and then accidentally copy them. The trick is to gather everything that inspires you, take what you like, leave what you don’t, make something, and then make sure it doesn’t look like any of the pieces you gathered. You can take an idea from something, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it exactly in that way. For example, say you like how the smoke of the coffee makes the name of the shop. Why do you like that? It’s typography integration with an aspect of the coffee. Maybe the coffee itself instead of the smoke? Maybe it’s done in a different way. Understand why you like it and then make it happen!
  • What do you want to say? The connotation is very important no matter what kind of art you’re doing. A feeling or an idea should be expressed, so make sure you get that down before you start to say you’re stuck! Maybe you need to look at it in a different way. Maybe instead of saying “What do I love about coffee?” say “What do I hate about coffee and how is our coffee not like that?”. Solve a problem, say you love something in another way, say why people should care about what you’re selling, make sure you’re saying what you want to say.
  • Word association (it’s almost like a game)! Say your words are “coffee” and “shop”. Now, get out a blank piece of paper and write all the words you would associate with these terms. Things like “beans”, “liquid”, “black”, “brown”, and so on will probably be the first things that you think of, which is completely okay! But how do you make an interesting or original idea? You keep going past the obvious and maybe you find something that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise!
  • Literally just put down everything. Even if it’s an instant throw-away idea that would not work in a million years, write it down and draw it out! Exhaust all of your ideas and make sure to get all the bad ideas out of your system and the good ideas onto paper!

And that’s all I’ve got at the moment! Feel free to reblog and add your own tips too if you have them! In this day and age, there are so many ways to get inspired and I’m sure I didn’t list all of them!

I hope this helped get you out of your creative rut and helped you get moving!
