Summer for me goes by super fast! Whether I’m passing the days working full time, visiting family, or going on trips it can be hard to stay in the software. Read on to see some of my suggested summer projects.
Potential Summer Projects
Poster Design
One of my favorite things to do is to design posters! I like to make music posters (band tour posters, lyric poster, etc). You can even print them out at your local Fedex for cheap.

Rebranding
Whether you have a brand in mind, or you want to make up a fictional one, creating a logo can be a lot of fun! Personally, I like the idea of creating a fictional fairy tavern and then designing the logo, Pinterest board, ad campaign, signage, etc.
Tattoo Design
I’ve gone over this a few times, so feel free to check out my last post! Or click here. But basically, the idea is to sketch out a potential tattoo (inspired by your favorite, books, or games!) Try sketching and then bring it into software to clean it up.
