No Censorship!
Recently I have been trying to explore my creative side by producing crypto infused art. While trying to teach myself how to do basic graphic design I asked the Steemit community for advice. @sumsum suggested I try out Canva.com.
Yesterday I released a post with a few simple designs to inspire people for the new Steemit marketing push. If you haven't checked it out already, that post and the designs can be seen here. Those designs focused on "Telling your story" and getting paid to blog. Today I want to approach it from a different angle and focus on censorship. Many social media services have been censoring alternative views recently and demonetizing users. Steeemit may appeal to this growing group of persecuted users.
Important Reminders:
These designs are not intended for commercial use, they are meant to start a discussion about the best way to promote Steemit and to inspire artists to make other original works!
The long term goal of this project is best summed up by a comment from @heymattsokol " this is SUCH a good idea. Developing an open source / Creative Commons collection of high quality marketing assets for Steemit, such as these, would be a huge step towards facilitating the decentralized / community marketing efforts on Steemit."
I have not incorporated Steemit's logo because Canva has vague rules for usage and logos, I wanted to play it safe.
Design #1
Design #2
Design #3
Design #4
I would love to get feedback about the designs, about the marketing strategy and anything else!
Which of the three designs do you like best?
How do you think Steemit should be marketed?
I hope these will inspire the artists on Steemit to create their own unique Steemit graphics!
I would love to see your artwork!
Follow my blog @digicrypt if you are interested in cryptology and want to see more crypto art.
aint that the truth! lol
I like the "Let Your Voice Be Heard" slogan. That feels like it really sums up the anti-censorship message as it pertains to Steemit.
Thanks for your input! Hope you didn't mind me quoting you in the post! :)
I like #1 the best
#3 + #4 I love the concepts, but somewhat make it seem like Steemit is a site you sign up to sign a petition against censorship or something from my perceptions.
#3 Is a mega cool concept, but I would prefer "the blockchain is mightier than the sword" personally, with a blockchain or computery thing instead of a pen. #3 would be my fave with these changes.
#2 is also good but makes me feel like I'm in a beehive.
#1, 2, & 3 with 2 perhaps having a white background. I really love the white contrast on 1 & 3.
Overall excellent inspiring work.
Thanks! Great input! Number one is my favorite too. It is funny what you said about number 3, because I knew I had hit on something with the concept but also knew it could be better executed...I think your idea about blockchain could really pull it all together! I have another project I am working on about blockchain for my crypto art series, maybe I can incorporate that. Thanks again for your great suggestions!
