Graphic Design takes a whole lot of mental power, right from thinking, researching, sketching and then doing the actual work. I know there are project deadlines, but in order to get a great and better job, a Graphic Designer needs time. Worked on this quick flyer for a client. PHCN restricted me from posting yesterday.

Currently in my 6th month, in my NYSC service year. At this phase, my life revolves around a person (God), and two things, which are my petroleum engineering career and my graphic design career. Genuinely, it hasn’t been easy, but God sees me. Good morning, friends ✨

6 months at @chowdeck and i finally wrote about it. delivered food with uber. answered over 100 angry hungry nigerians on intercom. led like 9 campaigns & more…nearly lost my mind and the team that makes every exhausting day worth it. go read it. medium.com/@samuelobasola/co…

Some of the outcome✨

God will guide and direct our paths, and where the sole of our feet shall touch, we will claim. We find favour in the sight of men, and brands. Everything we do, we do with peak excellence. Happy new week, friends✨

I created this merch designs for a gospel campaign ✨ The project was urgent (2days), so I leveraged the use of AI also. I designed the artwork on CorelDRAW and used AI to make modifications on some of the artworks. Can’t wait to see what the print would look like ☺️

Monday reminder for anyone in tech: You don’t need to have everything figured out this week. Some days you’ll learn fast. Some days you’ll feel stuck. Some days you’ll question if you’re making progress at all. Keep going anyway. A lot of designers, developers, and even founders you admire were once confused, inexperienced, and trying to make sense of it all. One lesson. One project. One application. One improvement at a time. Your breakthrough won’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like simply refusing to quit. Have a great week. 🚀

May this week be filled with great opportunities, amazing connections, and sustained good health. Every project and every work will be done with excellence and every delivery will be a success. Happy new week, friends✨

Story time😫😅 Creatives can experience a variety of shege sometimes😫 So, a client (I’d leave you to guess the demography or country) reached out to me to design a stand-alone flyer for an organization, and I agreed. Now mind you, this was a volunteering project, since it’s for an oil/gas organization I joined while on campus. So after creating the design, I was met with a lot of corrections from 2 different persons. I held my peace along the whole process, since people have different perspectives, and as such it must be respected. After the whole back and forth, with about 8-9 (not exaggerating) corrections made. Corrections like: can we make everything on the flyer big and bold? There’s space on the right side of the design, remove this and that, I think we should change the layout of the whole design, etc. They now finally agreed to it. After it was sent to the chairman of the organization, he now said he didn’t like the design😅😫 At this point, I was infuriated, stressed and tired, and these things were coming from people who weren’t even part of the media and communications team. I then asked them that okay, what does he not like about the decision in specific? Omor, I didn’t get any response. Now, I was just checking my messages on WhatsApp yesterday, and I saw that they’ve posted a funny kind of design to publicize the event. No prior response, no feedback, no consolation, nothing nothing🤦🏽‍♂️ I would’ve posted both designs here but, I don’t want wahala.😅

I read somewhere, where someone said “Maybe procrastination is just your brain trying not to allocate time and resources to a vision and goal it doesn’t believe in” It solved a problem for me, and I think if you read and think about this, it would for you also.

So, my sister wants to go full scale with her confectionery brand, so I’m tasked with creating a great visual identity. Created the primary logo, and it’s alternate. Also created the illustrative brand pattern. Watch out for updates✨

Congratulations to me, but this happened in May ✨ Got in on a scholarship to study Data Science in @VephlaUni for a whole year! The reason why I went for this is because of my petroleum engineering career, as this would greatly improve my chances of becoming an excellent reservoir engineer. It’s been really impactful at Vephla, from the classes, to the assessments that comprises of recorded video presentations and typed assessments. At the end of the 1year, I hope to have become an excellent data scientist, because Vephla is really serious about building capable professionals. Also, I will be bringing in updates as we go on☺️

Good morning, and a happy new month, friends✨ God will connect us with life changing relationships, and opportunities this month. Let’s have a productive one✨
