Project Update: I am once again asking for your design ideas - new backer poll!🌈
Hey all,
I am once again asking for your design ideas! I have been in a real design rut lately, and I can't seem to shake it. It's not that I am not passionate about this campaign or these designs, but work/life has been busy and stressful and the creativity is just not flowing. I'm also in the process of switching up ADHD meds, and that has been a fun little choose your own adventure (not in a good way either).
I've attached a poll with some design ideas, please feel free to vote in the poll, or leave a comment with any ideas. I have read the suggestions from the last post and I love them, and as you can see some of them were added. Keep in mind that BackerKit only allows you to choose one option on the poll, so feel free to state your other options in the comments.
Here are some challenges I'm running into in terms of designing for this campaign:
- Some suggestions are very specific - this isn't a bad thing though, it's just that in terms of pin manufacturing and minimum order quantities, I have to ensure a design is going to sell enough to be able to meet the MOQ.
- Creating a pin specific to one identity/orientation causes some guilt? Someone may request a pin that's specific only to bisexuals, or nonbinary folk, etc. - and I'm not opposed to making those pins, but I then feel like I've left out other identities and orientations. But hey, if you really want a specific Bi pin (just an example) just keep leaving a shoutout in the comments and maybe I can make it happen. Even if a design doesn't make it to this campaign, it doesn't mean the idea doesn't go on an ongoing list for future pins.
- It's really hard to make a pride pin without throwing in all the colors of the rainbow, and I don't want every single pin to just be a rainbow. ಠ_ಠ
- Pronoun pins - I'm still thinking about it, but it's complicated. I just don't know how to make one for all the possible combinations without leaving some out.
Design Re-colors
I am putting another poll together about possibly taking a previous design and doing a recolor for all the orientations/identites.
Let me know what you want to see and I'll see what I can do to make it happen!
