Design experiments

Recently I discovered a program called Canva, which has numerous tools and templates that allow you to design such things as postcards, flyers, website banners, and so forth.

The above image is something I created in response to a topic on the Center for Humane Technology's forum, an online group I joined in March. In referring to the categories and subcategories being considered during a forum reorganization, one of the admins had used the terms cats and subcats.

On the right is something else I came up with: a simple flyer or poster for the organization. I thought of the word digitarian to suggest people who like to supplement their mind-body diets with digital conversations.


The designs below were shape and color experiments. It was fun to discover that flat objects could be made to appear three-dimensional by simply repeating them. I know this is a basic design principle, but it was thrilling to discover it for myself.
