The Gift of Gubbins!

This week's Creative Juice newsletter features abstract photography from above, some logo fore play, and a garage of artificial cars. Enjoy!

Creative Juice is a weekly newsletter published every Monday morning so you can start your week feeling inspired creatively to make cool sh*t and get paid for it. Every Monday I share something gorgeous, a portfolio of the week, three creative finds, one amazing post from social media, and one lesson I learned recently.

Something Gorgeous

The Creatures

2023 Abstract Drone Photo Awards

Unless you're on a plane every other week, we rarely get to see how things look from above. The winners of the 2023 Drone Photo Awards are announced, and the abstract category is one of my favorites. The photo above is from Gheorghe Popa.

Portfolio of the Week

Well-crafted and Detailed Portfolio

Vitali Zahharov

Experienced, well-traveled, multidisciplinary designer Vitali Zahharov does a wonderful job creating his portfolio website to reflect his design taste and skill. The choice in typefaces, hierarchy, and use of negative space communicate a seasoned and confident creative. His homepage includes a header, selected work, services, clients, and contact section.

Score: 9.5/10

Judge A Book By It's Cover

2024 Penguin Books Cover Design Shortlist

I'm hoping there will be re-issues of Atomic Habits with some of these new cover designs. The one above is my favorite. There are also interesting concepts in the Children's and Fiction categories.

What Is A Gubbins?

folly_studio

While scrolling TikTok, I found a puzzle game called Gubbins. I was intrigued by its design and art direction. The game is created by Studio Folly, a two-person game design studio in Melbourne. I will be following their page for updates.

One Lesson

No One Is Like You

Recently I shared a video on TikTok about choosing 3 portfolio websites to redesign. Many submissions lacked personality. Remember: there is no one like you — your personality is your superpower and makes you stand out.
