Happily I completed my personal project to design patterns based on the capital Greek letters! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Although, unhappily I didn\u2019t make it to the 100 as was my initial aim for the 100 day project\/challenge. Oddly enough I stopped at day 27, which is the day I stopped the first time I undertook a 100 project. Maybe that\u2019s the limit of my endurance \ud83d\ude06 or patience, or whatever… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be perfectly honest I did create a few more designs but never posted them. I will likely make a different post to include them. I also archived whatever I uploaded to Instagram. Suddenly I didn\u2019t like how they looked on that page of mine. I do so many different things that, at least to me, they looked out of place on that profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m considering perhaps starting a separate Instagram profile just for my pattern designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here are my patterns inspired by the capital letters of the Greek alphabet. I used Affinity Designer<\/a> to create them. I have to say here that I love Affinity Designer! Since Adobe illustrator\u2019s subscription price is way too costly for me I have not been able to design like I used to but now with Affinity Designer I can honestly say I prefer it! I also have it on my iPad and so I can easily work on the go and then transfer my designs to my desktop and refine them on there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing worth mentioning is that if you are experiencing a creative block, like I do frequently, using familiar symbols, letters or motifs as a starting point is an excellent way to get unblocked and get those juices flowing again. Try it and you will see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
