I used Jordan's Typeface Picker tool to land on a consistent visual identity. I'm in the self-care niche. Is this interesting, boring, relatable, all over the place? Would love to know what you think!

I know Kanam won't make this post herself, so I'm going to make it for her. She just made a Carousel post about 48 hours ago, and within that time, it's already passed 12,000 likes, which is fucking crazy!! I'll include a link here to show you guys what the Carousel post example looks like. It's nothing fancy; there's no secret to it. It's just a really strong hook with wonderful delivery and a beautiful mixture of Kanam. Also, give Kanam a huge shout-out. This is a big win for her, especially since it's extremely aligned with her personal brand and not some cheap trend that is going to pass in a few weeks. Good job, Kanam; we're all rooting for you!

I've been struggling recently on finding clear direction and portrayal of my branding and the persona I create my art and music through. On the recent Q&A call, Jordan suggested going through this framework and to come up with one sentence with who the character is, why I am creating them, and what I wanted the outcome to be. Here's the sentence I came up with: "Livinity is the embodiment of my shadow-self that transmutes life experiences into a world of love and divinity, where people can feel seen, connected, and like they’re not alone in this complex human experience." Here are the questions I explored and journaled on in order to help get me there: - Who is the persona/character you're creating? - Why did you create them? - Why are you putting them out into the world? - What's the story you want to tell and why? - What is the desired outcome? I found this exercise and framework to be extremely helpful and clarifying in terms of taking a vast amount of ideas, goals, and meanings behind my branding, and nailing it down to one clear focus point. It even inspired the next script that I'll be using in my next project: "Do you think it can exist? A world of cosmic stars and deep lilac blues. Where there’s joy and freedom for all? – I think there can be. You’ve just got to create it. " If you're also going through a rebranding phase or looking to seek clarity on social media portrayal, try giving this framework a shot! Let me know what you think, I would love to hear your guy's thoughts and feedback on this!

I managed to find an app that extracts the vocals and instruments from clips for free. Jordan shared a paid online tool in his visual mastery module but I did some digging and found a free alternative to download for desktop. I will mostly use it for vocals rather than instrumental but you can fiddle around and see for yourself download - https://ultimatevocalremover.com/ youtube tutorial explanation of all the drop downs to select - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykOKwz3eRUQ

Hey creatives, I’m excited to share that I’m stepping into a new role here at Asterisk as the Creative Consultant. Some of you already know me from being a part of the community and now I’ll be a lot more active in the community helping with content feedback, Adobe Suite questions, editing workflows, and anything creative you’re stuck on. Over the last three months, I’ve been editing content for Asterisk Create, helping push us to around a million views, which has been wild. I originally joined Asterisk just looking for community and mentorship, so being able to give back and support everyone here feels full-circle. I’ll also be hosting a Q&A call focused specifically on content creation + editing so if you’ve got questions, ideas, or want to level up your process, jump in!
