#lucidpress

But it hates Lucidpress.

I LOVE lucidpress. A free web-based layer-able, close-cut image/text wrapping publishing layout software? Feckin amazing.

But my writing laptop is soooooooo underpowered that it takes FOREEEEVEEEERRRRRR to make even a single change, and for someone with ADHD, a PC that takes longer than 1.5 seconds to do anything is akin to death.

I will struggle on with it for now, but a decent desktop PC is definitely one of the things I will buy with the kickstarter funds, so it doesn't take me 2 weeks to edit one friggin section (no joke- 2 to 4 hrs a day, for the last 2 weeks, and the Appendix of Magical Items is almost done).

Celebrating designers of color on the Lucidpress blog today! 🙌🏿 

I really enjoyed researching and writing this list.  Whether you’re more into the art or business side of things, I think there’s someone here for everyone 😊 So please check it out: 

- Dana James Mwangi  - Timothy J. Hykes  - Danikqwa Rambert  - Hassan Rahim  - Antionette Carroll  - Jewel Burks  - Nakita M. Pope  - Dian Holton 

Love the warm colors here, they’re a welcome contrast to the wintry cold outside. Plus, it’s an exciting way to illustrate what could have been a very abstract concept. Ignite that passion! 

“Millennials are—and will remain—a favorite demographic for marketers, but they're skeptical of traditional ads. So how can you reach this valuable audience?” 

How cute is this little guy?  Love the cool red background. 

“After spending so much time & effort to build your brand, the last thing you want is for someone else to steal it. Here's how to protect against IP theft.” 

Love the bright yellow in this header image!  Scott did a great job designing our commuters :) 

I like the organized chaos going on the background of this blog header.  I love how the color palettes in the header and footer complement each other, sort of inverted from one another. 

Are marketing students graduating with the skills they need to succeed in a modern marketplace? Here are 5 digital strategies all students should learn.

I like the grainy overlay on this photo.  I also like that it’s a modern representation of today’s college experience, Macbook and all, rather than just a stack of books. 

We got a little varied with the images within the post, including a meme. As for the header, we kept it simple and to the point.
