Hello, lovely people! This is going to be a new regularly irregular feature on my blog where I share various designs I’ve made such as wallpapers or bookmarks. I’m considering doing some basic tutorials for Canva/Photoshop too. There’ll probably be more resource posts like I did here. I’m only new to design, but the more I practice the more I’ll improve (hopefully) and I wanted to use this as a way to track my progress.
This time around I created two wallpapers that were inspired by the Shades of Magic series by V.E. Schwab and The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater. If for some crazy reason you want to use any of these then just right click –> save as on whatever best suits your resolution.
SHADES OF MAGIC
