#035 - Blog Post

in

I’m proud of myself for this one. Every time I look at the final image, I give myself a pat on the back, as corny as that sounds.

Today’s blog post designed was based on Satchel Stone, the fictional accessory company I made up ran by two sisters named Malia and Sasha. (Shout out to the Obama girls.) The blog post is from Malia’s perspective, and it turns out Satchel Stone has seen an increase in online orders over the last couple of months. It’s a nice surprise, which means that they are able to keep their small staff employed instead of having to lay anyone off.

I have decided to document my process by using a tool called Loom! It isn’t a new tool, but it’s fairly new to me even though I’ve had the desktop app on my laptop for a month or two.

Life happened and it took me a while for me to complete this. I did the wireframes in December, dabbled a little bit in January, but put the finishing touches on it yesterday. Whew, the inconsistency of it all. I find that my issue is feeling like I have to spend a significant amount of time on creative work in a day and as we all know, sometimes it’s not possible. What I have done, though, is set a goal to at least work on one UI related project and coding for at least an hour, multiple times a week. It lessens the guilt I have about not doing it every day, even when I’m occupied with other life matters.

#026 - Subscription

It’s been a while since I did anything related to Satchel Stone, so I thought that creating an email subscription pop up would be a terrific idea. Malia and Lauren have been missed!

Yes, I have chosen names for the sisters. I figured it might be wise to think of their needs in terms of any other potential Satchel Stone related things coming up.
