Story 1 : The Bond ( A Marc's Perspective) "When someone mentions that their marketing channels will include advertising and events, I often wonder about the specific structures and locations where these advertisements will be posted. We've all seen theater billboards on walls, and I believe that walls are the face of a building. Similarly, marketing is the face of an organization, and when combined, it becomes the face of society. So, if someone asks why study marketing after architecture, the answer is simple: why not?" #architecture #marketing #bond

In the vivid realm of art, there exists a place where lines, colors, and textures converge, telling stories more profound than words. I journey within this space, crafting visions that resonate and evoke emotion. As an Art Director, I believe that every design starts with a single thought, a mere whisper of imagination. #imagination #art #graphicdesign #creativity #advertising

Last week the Leopard Co Studio Team had the pleasure of visiting the Birmingham Design Festival! ✨ Lucky for us, it was just a short walk from the office so we eagerly popped over to dive into some of the amazing talks and workshops on offer. Check out my mini vlog to see what we got up to! 😊 First on the agenda, Joey and I headed to Laura Tinland’s talk on ‘Art and Anxiety: Trust the process’. She touched on some really important topics, and we were treated to seeing her incredible illustrations. Here are my key takeaways: 🖋  Recognising you have an "intolerance to uncertainty" is the first step to working on it 🖋 In a world where social media content is somewhat key to developing your brand, be wary to not create content at the cost of your art. 🖋 When you get stuck, remember to: Take yourself away, look back through old work, ride it out and laugh at yourself! Meanwhile, Joseph checked out the PHORM X BDF exhibition and got some super cool content from his ‘Walk and Draw’ workshop with Abbie Stephen, so of course I had to pop this in the video! Here are Joe's thoughts about the experience: 🖌 It was good to learn a new way of creatively documenting a sense of place and to do what the theme of the festival was - learn a new process. 🖌  A good thing to get creative freely, without much restriction. 🖌  It was nice to draw with new people! Finally, all 3 of us attended Stephen Smith’s talk, ‘Process: Towards a Feeling. He showcased some of his work (which was amazing – I adore his style) and chatted about his processes and experiences. Here are some of my favourite things he said: 🎨 “I love chaotic disorder” 🎨 “I’m into using deconstruction as a tool for construction” 🎨  “It’s a continual exploration of using materials in different ways” 🎨 “Process isn’t easy to understand… you should just experiment and have fun… think about what you want to make someone feel” During the Q&A, someone asked Stephen how he handles hate and negative comments about his work, and he simply replied, “Ugh… I don’t care?” We should all aspire to be a bit more like Stephen! 🤣🤔 #BirminghamDesignFestival #Birmingham #contentcreation #design #creativeprocess

Part 2 of 3: The Artistic Continuation 🍓 Revealing the middle segment of our strawberry pattern. As the design unfolds, watch how each piece seamlessly connects, bringing the larger picture to life. More than just a design, it's storytelling through art. #StrawberryPattern #PartTwo #ContinuingArt #SeamlessDesign #StorytellingInArt #GraphicDesignContinued #BeverageArt #CreativeJourney #DesignUnfolding

Amber was stuck. She was a creative director for a major media company. She was well paid, tired, burnt out and frustrated. She wanted to run her own business and have time to create art, but said she didn't know how to start. The truth is that she was afraid to start. I suggested that she may have to let go of her unhappiness, if she wanted to have a future. "Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?"—Rumi I've become the Creative Director's Creative Director. Today Amber is a sought after artist creating her own line of originals, prints, NFT's and she regularly collaborates with major fashion lines. ... I've collected so many stories of people I'ver worked with who have lost confidence in themselves. When we lose our confidence, we lose courage. Then doubt, and overwhelm creep in, creativity stops flowing and we get STUCK. Unfixed and unchanged, we get sick. Literally. Sick of work, sick of our jobs and compromise. Sick and tired. But, there are tools and actions we can use, I have seen it thousands of times, people regaining the confidence to create the career and life they want through creative courage. If you are interested in complete transformation and finding out what you're truly capable of, I have something for you... 📣 ANNOUNCING... A James Victore Creative Workshop August 2, 3 and 4, Round Rock, Texas A 3 day celebration of your Creative Courage. https://lnkd.in/gg-SSP9t Limited Spots Available: To ensure a personalized experience, we're keeping the workshop size intimate.

*What are some mural themes? My opinion what makes a quality mural is when someone takes the time to design the piece of art with their storytelling involved to make it have more of a life to it I think when designing you need to think of the layering process and your perspective of where you going to place your characters your different elements your background and how they're all going to come together to tell a story in the end I think when you approach a mural in this way it gives it more longevity and each time you come back to it you see something that you didn't see the first time opposed to creating something that's really flat and conveys the message in one thought but then again this is just my opinion. ~Dytch66

Emotion and Problem-Solving - The Clash of Arts and Design 🖼 🤼♀️ Art is a canvas of emotions, a symphony of expressions. Design, on the other hand, is a strategic solver of problems. But can these worlds collide? 🤔 🎨 When art evokes feelings, design steps up to address challenges. As strategists, we use the power to transform messages into captivating visuals. It's not just about the aesthetics; it's about the impact. What's your take? Are art and design destined for a head-on collision, or can they dance in harmony?  Share your creative insights with me in the comment below! 🤓 #creativestrategy #graphicdesign #art #design
