What to Design & Create Each Quarter (Designs + Digital Products)
Knowing what to work on — and when — helps you stop jumping between ideas and start finishing products.
Quarter 1: January – March
Theme: Build, Learn, Prepare
This is your creation and foundation quarter.
Design focus:
  • Evergreen PNGs & SVGs

  • Simple shirt designs you can reuse year-round
Digital products to create:
  • Coloring books (kids or adults)
  • Prompt books or AI prompt packs
  • Planners, trackers, journals
  • Canva templates (listings, planners, workbooks)
  • Starter bundles (beginner-friendly products)

Theme: Monetize, Bundle, Finish Strong
This is your highest earning quarter.

  • Holiday designs (Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas)

You don’t need to do everything every quarter. Focus on what matches the season you’re in.
