A collection of various designs from GEO from 2020 to 2022, submitted to Design Chef, a weekly challenge hosted by Elliotisacoolguy.
I still remember my first Design Chef challenge. I got on Twitch and randomly stumbled upon Elliotisacoolguy from his Instagram announcement about his stream. During that time, I was working full-time and wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I didn't have a style and it always felt like I was floating in my career.
Then it began as one of my life-changing experiences...
Then it began as one of my life-changing experiences...
From Elliot's Twitch, this is the description:
Design Chef is a challenge where chat gets 60 minutes to design something based on a prompt. After time's up, we take a look at what everyone's made and sing praises over their work. Elliot's favourites will receive a VIP badge in the chat! Submit your designs in the #design-chef channel on Discord.
...and to me, it's where friends come together and have a lot of fun playing. This is where I learned to have fun and that I need to enjoy what I do. It helped me realize many things and this simple 'toxic-positivity' challenge helped me realize that we can do anything when we truly love what we're doing.
Enjoy this 3 years collection of my submissions, where you will find various styles of design, typography, animations, logos, illustrations, mockups, layouts and concepts.
