Hello World!

I am the Lead Strategist at Kobobrand, a video marketer, successful cryptocurrrency trader with half a decade trading experience.

I obtained B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering, but Nigeria situation turned me to out-of-the-box thinker. I co-founded Thinkerspool book club, one of the most organized online book clubs in Africa.

I am a blockchain advocate in various communities in Nigeria. I am an avid reader, philanthropist and best friend you can think of. My name is Ojeniyi Ayobami Abimbola, I love to add value to people.

That's enough about me, you are not supposed to know everything

This year alone, I have spent decent amount of money paying graphics designers to design flyers, posters, infographics and book covers for me.

I won't lie to you, I am scared of learning graphics design with Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw. Not because of anything other than time.

I found an easy to use graphics design software, it is called CANVA. it has mobile app, desktop software and you can use it with PC browser.

When I noticed how much I spent on designs amidst COVID 19 pandemic, I know say time don reach to start learning how to do some simple designs by myself.

Na wetin make me reason Canva b dat.

So what do I want?

I want to have online diary of my designs, it will continue to get updated throughout this year.

It depends, I may explain some of my designs, but I can't guarantee that.

Why A Graphics Design Diary?

It is simple, I want to look back one day, and appreciate how much I have improved over time. And if I have not improved, I can have something to criticize.

What's my greatest fear?

I am scared that moderator may wake up one day and delete my diary. May be I will use a blockchain based social forum as backup. I have had nasty experience in the past. Moderator, please be nice, lols.


Warning!!!

Please don't spam my diary, if you do, I am going to report and possible roll out NL penalties against you. Please be nice.

However, you can ask appropriate questions. Be conscious of the fact that irrelevant questions/comments will be ignored.

Hey! What are you waiting for?

Let's get started.

It was bad when I began. Anyways enjoy the flow.

Nice, I hope my journey will inspire you.

I made this design shortly when I woke up this morning.

Yes sir,be waiting for your posts

Nice, I hope my journey will inspire you.

Like I said earlier, I will not rely entirely on Nairaland to keep my design diary safe.

So I kept it on the blockchain and I earned for doing so

Hello diary!

I found new design for you, although it was created to promote an online training.

I am so stressed today, there is no way I can make new design.

Since I trust that you have the capability to keep this for me, I will simply give it to you.

Tomorrow is another day, hopefully, I will add new design.

Wait! I want to try my hands on logo design, but I can't figure out the concept right now.

See you soon.

First slide of my PowerPoint presentation, I made it for online webinar that will start soon.

You can still do simple things like arranging your screenshots, so you can deviate from the normal photo grid.

Canva is really awesome.

Free Canva is cool and premium version is cooler.

I love the feel and its simplicity

Today, I would like to create educational content

Dear Diary,

Right now as I type, I feel so weak.

It mix of exhaustion and joy.

I woke up today with renewed hope that I wouldn't have tight schedule, but I was wrong.

I got home late and the only thing on my mind is diary update and sound sleep.

I have made some designs in the past, keep it for me.

Cheers!

I spent about 2 hours on these designs, it is my first time of converting long article to something that is graphical.

I feel so excited teaching people without having to share boring url with them.

It is really not a difficult design, it is a matter of copying and pasting, then I added summary of each topic to it.

80% of all images were sourced from Canva.

I earned by sharing same content I shared on Nairaland.

If there is power supply, I will try new design today.

Check the feedback I got from sharing my design on Facebook.

Awesome feedback, huh?

Today's Design

It is really simple, but I am glad it drew lots of attention when I used it as WhatsApp status.

Another money was made few hours ago.

Why?

Because I shared a simple design on Hive blockchain.

This money is small, but it can cater for data that I use for my weird internet adventures
