Pablo Neruda

Some through internet wormhole or another I found an Instagram account @storiesgram who run weekly themed challenges. This weeks challenge is Pablo Neruda since his birthday was on the 12th. A few years ago for rather elaborate birthday cards I 'illustrated' 2 poems for Dougie.

So of course, I thought...well I could mix the images from those cards in a graphic or 2 or 3 or 4...

Graphics with Canva

Recently I have been having fun with Canva, a free graphics app online. It's very easy to use, has lots of free stuff and has a bunch of templates with the right proportions for various social media banners and pics.

I have been thinking about how to use the images I have in new ways on place like Pinterest, facebook, Instagram and twitter without boring people to death. So with Canva I have been making graphics with quotes from fairy tales. I have done a few with #creepyquotes and now i'm starting an #onfairytales set. I'm enjoying looking for the text, matching it with the images and playing around with fonts and colourways.
