what are your autumn goals?
this little animation isn't very seasonal but i really enjoyed making it in Photoshop (I'll put a process video in the comments). i'm a month away from travelling the world, and focussing on fun, peaceful projects this season!
i'm naturally a workaholic, so any tips for detaching whilst travelling would be very much appreciated. i also want to see something fun you've been working on recently! 🌸

the backgrounds are cutout from a CMYK print test sheet, and the flower video is from envato.
made in Photoshop with lots of cutting out and lovely paper textures:
Wowww✨
hope the trip actually lets you switch off

What if sharing your work was just part of making it?
I love the idea of building in public, but documenting the process can become a whole process of its own.
So I wanted to see if I could remove some of that friction by creating a work diary.
I’m experimenting with using AI to pull from the work I’m already doing and turn it into simple daily entries, so I can keep track of all the ideas, decisions, mistakes, and little discoveries that usually disappear once a project is done.
I just want to make the work I’m already doing easier to share.
How are you actually documenting your work right now? Have you found anything that makes it feel more effortless?

What can you add to your portfolio to make it a little more personal?
I love to write, and I've always kept a journal (often several on the go at once). I thought it'd be nice to add a work journal to my website so that my clients and colleagues can explore my processes and the messy inner-workings of my brain.
Have a look at: https://www.onyourtiptoes.com/journal and have a click through my highlights below.
It only took a couple of hours to build in Figma and Framer, but now the real challenge is keeping the entries going!
In spirit of building in public being more popular than ever, I'd love to see what you're making at the moment too. Let me know in the comments and we can share notes 💌
This is so cool @Cara Ellis. What is everyone else making?
Wouldn’t it be fun to hear your own design as a song?
The newest Suno model, V6, lets you create a soundtrack from your own visuals.
I tried out V6 Mini, which is free for everyone, and asked it to create a song inspired by the visuals I shared in my previous post.
And the result? I really love how it turned out. It captured the mood of the visuals so well, and I got this on my first try too!
You can try feeding it your own design and see what it comes up with!
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this little music track! 🎵
