On my recent trip to Slovakia, I spotted a cool idea…
I was on the train, looking outside and enjoying my trip…
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the train stopped. There was a wall stretching for about 100 meters…
It caught my attention because there were flyers hanging on that wall… framed and spaced out about a meter apart from each other…
However, the best part was the idea behind it…
Each flyer led to another one.
Think of it as a giant Instagram carousel post made of flyers.
And guess what was at the end of the wall?
I bet you have no idea…
I didn’t…
There was a real book framed behind the plexiglass with a message…
Support this awesome project by buying this book…
And then, the title of the book and so on.
I thought it was a brilliant advertisement!
It got my brain spinning faster than the centrifuge in a local amusement park.
And before I arrived in Zilina, I had a list with a dozen ideas for a new project.
And so…
Why am I telling you all this?
…because traveling (learning about other cultures, and seeing things with your own eyes) will expand your brain, your thinking process… and is behind every project I’ve ever designed to this day.
Traveling shaped who I am today.
I can’t remember starting a new project where the design wouldn’t be inspired by something I either saw while exploring new countries with my backpack strapped to my back or experienced myself.
There is a quote I fell in love with…
“I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” ― Mary Anne Radmacher
And with that, I finish this short message…
If you’re interested and would love to design beautiful Instagram carousels effortlessly, there is a design tool I can’t shut up about that is simple to use… will save you time, and in the long run, money… and perhaps a ton of frustrations… called Glorify.
I’m an early adopter since 2019 and crafted gazillion ads, website banners, flyers, templates, and other things I share here… Some for free, some for a few bucks.
Feel free to look around…
