Am I There Yet?
Volume 1, No. 25
This has been a hectic week. Have you ever tried to create a color palette? It is more than a notion. It took days to get the combinations right and create brand guidelines. I am working with Marshall Fox on a logo, podcast cover art, YouTube banner, and background image for my upcoming podcast, Knowledge Gumbo. I am excited about what he is creating and ready to get started.
I started working on a wall calendar for 2025. This week's newsletter will be short and sweet.
