Spoons in motion - a short stop-motion animation 🥄🎬

I created this animation for a recent university assignment. It was inspired by the iconic choreography of 1930s filmmaker Busby Berkeley.

I love how stop motion can turn everyday objects into a performance piece. This project was a fun mix of experimental animation, vintage film inspiration, and creative problem-solving.

Creativity community: Why is it so important?

On Friday morning, I was at The Forefronta Creative Mornings Brisbane talk and meetup. Great conversations, new connections, and an inspiring speaker, Ben from Composit Design. It reminded me that creativity doesn't happen in isolation. You need community. A place to gain insight from different perspectives and other people's experiences. That's what CreativeMornings does for me.

This mixed-media artwork was created in Procreate from a photo I took that morning of The Forefront overlooking the Brisbane River. It was the perfect image to pair with this week's quote:

"Community is a place where connections are made, relationships are built, and support is given." - Unknown.

Logo development - from black and white to colour with a grunge aesthetic.

For my recent album cover design project, I designed a custom graffiti-style logo for my fictional musician, Shakespeare.

I began with rough thumbnail sketches, then jumped into Adobe Illustrator. As always, I began with black and white. Once I had a logo that worked, I played with colour. In the end, I went with a distressed street-art style.

These variations show how colour can really change the mood and personality of a logo, and why experimentation in design is so important.

Some of the best design choices are the ones we don't make.

Our world is full of noise and chaos, so sometimes it's good to be reminded that design isn't always about adding more; it's about keeping it simple. Refining what matters. Making intentional choices.

"Good design is as little as possible." - Dieter Rams

I created this mixed media artwork in Procreate for my Monday inspirational quote series.

Album cover design. My concept? What if Shakespeare were a modern-day poet and musician?

🟠 Original illustrations created in Procreate
🟠 Original photos edited in Adobe Photoshop
🟠 Album layout created in Adobe Illustrator

I also used Adobe Firefly to generate photorealistic images of the musicians from my illustrations. (Back cover.) And for fun, I used the Suno app to generate music tracks based on Shakespeare's sonnets.

I absolutely loved working on this assignment for uni. 🧡
I'm now working on a series of 'behind the scenes' reels to explore my design thinking and creative process.

Monday inspiration.

"Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected." - William Plomer.

One of my favourite parts of the creative process is brainstorming ideas and making connections to form potential concepts.

Stop motion animation with Lego people.

This short animation was part of a recent university assignment, filmed using the Stop Motion app.

Post production:
🟠 Photoshop - edited images
🟠 Premiere Pro - edited video & added music

After submitting my assignment, I decided to play around with the clip. In Procreate Dreams 2.0, I added hand-drawn animation & effects.

Love stop motion.🧡
