I designed a swipeable 5-slide presentation that explains my services in about 30 seconds. It covers customer support, creative services (content, graphic design and banners), my certifications and tools, and the clients I help, and ends with a clear call to action. It's sized 1080×1350 for LinkedIn, in a green and dark-teal palette that matches my brand, and it's readable on a phone.
What I delivered
5 designed slides as one PDF
A consistent layout, colors and typography
A cover slide with a photo and a final call-to-action slide

Another little tour through The History of Design 1890–1959, this time looking specifically at how designers were treating type as an image rather than simply information. Previous post here.
Eugène Grasset, 1893 — beautifully controlled lettering and organic forms.
Toulouse-Lautrec, 1903 — expressive lettering becoming part of the energy of the poster.
Ernst Klimt, 1892 — decorative type working alongside illustration.
Louis Rhead, Harper's Bazar, 1892 — type, image, and ornament interacting as one visual system.

Show me one historical typographic composition you’d steal inspiration from today. 👀
The Beggarstaffs' cut-paper posters from the late 1890s — the lettering sits in the gaps the shapes leave rather than on top of them. I still think about that when a wordmark has to live inside a busy pack layout: let the silhouette decide where the type goes instead of the grid.

I help AI & Tech YouTubers go from 0 to 100K views with thumbnails that the algorithm loves. Let's make your channel blow up!
The dark-background rule is the one I'd want numbers on before committing to it. A big share of the audience is browsing in dark mode, where a dark thumbnail sits against a dark UI and loses its outer edge entirely, whereas the yellow one here keeps its shape in both themes. Do...
