Dear color lovers,
Let me begin by telling you how grateful I am for another year in your company here and for the love you've continuously shown the #MindfulPalette series (239 and counting, you can count on it!). Over 20,000 of you! I still can't believe it.
From every angle, this has been a cornerstone year for me. Me and @MrJayMena finally got all our planning, setup, and work done and @MindfulMotif, our design strategy consulting firm is officially registered and effectively in business, and has welcomed its first clients, wrapping up some amazing case studies.
On a personal level, I turned one of my dreams into reality. I've always wanted to create something, to contribute somehow to the @Figma community, and I've done so by creating and releasing my first plugin (definitely not the last), called "MM Color Interpolation Grid" – which you can find via the #Figma interface in the plugins list, or via the link below, in the comments.
I've also created the foundation of what I hope to be a new color tool that I want to share with you all next year. And in between all the palette, I've found some time to create a new color palettes eBook that will see daylight very early in January: "Minimalist Color Palettes vol. 1". Oh, and I'm actively working on "Gradient Haiku vol. 2".
Late in the year I've also (finally) decided to create a Patreon account, which now has 25 members to which I'm incredibly grateful for their support and financial contributions that ensure the continuity and longevity of the Mindful Palettes series for everyone. I would love to share their names with you as a token of appreciation, but in today's world, I feel privacy is better served with a genuine "Thank you!".
All of it is thanks to you! You all, all 20,000+ of you and more. Whenever you interact with my content, a simple like, a repost, a comment, you become a part of the energy that created this 20K strong community of color lovers.
Sending you all my love and wishes of health and happiness, thankful to have virtually met you!
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas to those celebrating, and
as they say in my part of the world:
Craciun Fericit!
May Santa make your dreams come true!
❤️ Alex

Had to REALLY fight with it to do this style. It really wanted to make everything HD and crispy.
This is a raw, unedited output!
@yv_frequency Thank you, I appreciate that!
But here's the thing about it. It doesn't matter if I do something for money, or for free.
To me it's a contract of trust and expectations nonetheless. It's about principles.
Just like in business, communication should always lead through issues.
With apologies, palette no. 235 will be released tomorrow. Recovering after a long weekend of family commitments and feeling a bit under the weather.
Until then, let's take a look back at this interesting color palette and it's beautiful contrasts: #MindfulPalettes no. 72.
Hello color lovers, here's a sneak peek into #MindfulPalettes no. 235, the color palette releasing tomorrow.
As always, the palette and its assets including Figma files have gone out to Patreon supporters as early release.
CT! How are we!?!?
Things have been hectic for me the last couple of days - I've barely seen a chart!!!
Who am I!!??
I'm just about to dive in and take stock of where we are. Updates to follow.
I did find time to watch the supermoon rise last night though - in a stunning location - I hope you all peeled yourself away from the charts for a moment to see it!
Life is still good ❤️
this book taught me the most important question everyone needs to memorize to define your most critical priorities.
big project is coming up? i ask it.
too many unknowns in design, i ask it.
i ask it when i start my day.
i ask it when i get to work.
it can be applied to any area in life.
I’m so thrilled with how these prints look. The colors are so vibrant 🔥
This is “Jupiter’s Passage”, my shortlisted entry into the astrophotographer of the year contest. The prints are available until tomorrow at the link in my bio!
