Research and gather information about the values, aspirations, hobbies, and any other relevant aspects that you want to contribute to your personal brand. We suggest sourcing from your designer-coder manifesto and your about-me.md.
8–12 assets (photos, textures, UI snippets, patterns) that fit your brand vibe.
Primary palette (3–5 colors) + neutrals. Include HEX values for each swatch.
2–3 candidate pairs (headline + body).
5–8 brand adjectives pulled from or consistent with your aboutme.md.
Include one image of yourself (can be stylized).
Arrange the collected design elements on a digital canvas to create a visually cohesive moodboard. Experiment with different layouts to find the most effective arrangement.
Integrate typography that complements your brand image. Experiment with various fonts, sizes, and styles to convey the desired emotions. (This doesn't have to be the final font you are planning to use in your final product.)
Choose a color palette that aligns with your brand's personality. Ensure the colors evoke the intended emotional response.
