61 x Art and Fun

It's June 2022 I have decided to embark on a mini-project. For 61 days I will share one small piece of art and/or a photograph to cheer people up.

I've shared the tiny bundles of joy on Twitter.

Start date: 30. May 2022
End date: 31. August 2022

Conclusion: This project was so much fun that I want to repeat it. I've learned so much and I already miss posting the fun pictures. It's a great way to share my work and boost creativity!

A short video of a bird sitting on a wooden rail. Then the bird turns to look directly at the camer and the question 'What?' appears next to it.

I practiced:

  • scheduling content creation
  • following my natural rhythm when I create
  • analysing engagement
  • Affinity Designer and Canva
  • shipping
An image inside a beige oval frame shows a cat asleep on a bed. On the right is the inscription 'I [heart] Sundays.' The writing is in dark green 3d letters.

I learned:

  • how to make gifs using images and animations in Canva
  • how to edit videos in Canva
  • how to turn videos into gifs and reduce their file size
  • I should use a tripod to make videos
  • I am a sprinter, meaning I prefer to create in bulk
  • having a project to focus on boosts my creativity
  • a hint of a shadow looks much better than a clearly defined one
