Creatives, ano ang take niyo dito?

Nagkaroon ng issue after a designer shared a private DM from A$AP Rocky. Hindi nagustuhan ni Rocky at sinabi niyang "distasteful" ito. Kayo ba?

🤔 OK lang bang i-post ang client DMs for content or portfolio?
or
🔒 Dapat private na lang lagi, kahit celebrity pa ang client?

Curious kami sa opinions ng fellow creatives. 👇
Respect each other's opinions. Healthy discussion lang. 🎨

🌤️ Designers, assemble!
After five minutes of intense Googling and a quick prayer to the color gods…
✨ We have the HEX code for Pantone Cloud Dancer: ✨ (Di mo na kase magamit Pantone sa Photoshop XD)

Yes, friends — it’s not white white, not egg white, not did-I-forget-to-calibrate-my-monitor white.

The kind of white that whispers, “I’m soft, I’m elegant, and I will absolutely ruin your layout if your monitor brightness is at 100%.”

Use it wisely. Or recklessly. We don’t judge. 😆🎨
