Creating Your Design

Choosing a concept

If you don’t know what theme you would like to explore, consider one of these options:

  • Take inspiration from organic shapes, forms in nature, symbolism, or from within yourself. 

  • Explore geometric and abstract shapes. 

  • Choose an issue that’s important to you. It could be personal, social, environmental or cultural. Consider checking out the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for ideas.
