So, I had originally planned to make some bookmarks this month instead I got distracted by creating mock ups of various fake products. I posted some on Twitter so you may have already seen them! I’ve been contemplating the idea of creating a society6 store for a while now and wanted to show a few examples to see if it’s something anyone will be interested in? I’m still pretty new (and insecure) when it comes to design. I only know the basics and I don’t want to put out low quality work. My whole design principle is simplicity too so I don’t want to put work out that might be too basic either. I don’t know. I have a lot of self doubt issues 😅
I’m hoping to have some bookmarks done soon. Typography definitely isn’t my strong point so I’m struggling a little.

I told you I got carried away…….

Your designs are gorgeous, and you have no reason to be insecure!! Especially if these are just some of your first attempts. I’m a particular fan of the Illuminae design, but they’re all reeaallly pretty 🙂 ❤

These are really really really gorgeous 😍😍 and they’re making me want to read the books they’re from more than I already want to !
Go ahead with the Society 6 store ! It’s a really good idea!
I wanted to do the same thing with my hand made quotes and what-nots but I don’t know how good they’ll show up on screen and if they’ll be good quality 😅 so I set that idea aside for a bit ! But YOU should do it for sure.
