    Minimalist Christmas decorations: less glitter, more soul

    Minimalist Christmas decorations: less glitter, more soul

    Conscious Christmas: The Definitive Guide to Minimalist and Natural Decorating. Every December, homes are filled with intense lights, bright decorations and saturated colors. Although Christmas is traditionally associated with visual abundance, a growing trend invites you to celebrate it from a calmer, more aesthetically pleasing perspective: minimalist Christmas decorating. This approach prioritizes calm, intention and natural materials. It simplifies without losing beauty and leaves room for light, texture and small details with meaning. What is minimalist Christmas decor? Minimalist decor is based on clean lines, balance and reduction of unnecessary elements. At Christmas it means: - Visual simplicity: few decorations, selected with intention. - Natural materials that bring warmth. - Handcrafted and timeless aesthetics, far from ephemeral. Minimalist is not synonymous with cold: when built with textures, neutral tones and organic materials, it creates a warm elegance that invites to rest. Color palette: the basis of minimalist aesthetics. Neutral tones are the protagonists, because they allow the space to breathe: - Whites, ecru and beige for luminosity. - Soft grays for balance. - Natural greens inspired by the winter forest. - Browns, earth and wood to connect with the organic. - Matte gold or copper as subtle accents.

    Photopea: Tips for Beginners

    Tips for using Photopea: a free online advanced photo editor Photopea is a free application for advanced photo editing. It works with both vector and raster graphics so that you can work with files in various formats. This software came from the mind of the young Czech programmer Ivan Kurtskir, who initially created it as a school project. Get to know some of its main functions, how they compare to other photo editors and how it can help you to your design process. How does it work? It is often called the “free alternative to Photoshop,” and that’s close to the truth. You’ll find an interface very similar to the Adobe editor, in terms of tools, menus, and usability. This is a big improvement on other free options like GIMP, whose interface isn’t so friendly. You don’t have to pay anything to use Photopea. Nor do you need to install anything. Simply enter the site and edit online (you can continue working on the program even if you lose connection). Just like Photoshop or Sketch, it works completely on your device and doesn’t publish your pictures on the internet. The disadvantage? Ads while you work.

    Tutorial Photography: Why Have an Artist's Sketchbook

    Discover the basic tips to create your sketchbook and awaken your visual culture with Dara Scully Of all the tools used by creatives, there is one that is invaluable in all formats and media: the artist's sketchbook. "For all those who want to pursue something creative, it is very important to have something called visual culture," explains photographer Dara Scully (@darascully). Visual culture consists of having a collection of image references, ideas, and various sources of inspiration to which you can turn when the time comes to create. The artist's sketchbook is where you can keep this collection of information and inspiration, which is why it is such an important part of any creative process. In the following video, Scully explains how and why she uses an artist's sketchbook and shares several basic concepts that you can apply to start your own.
