Calm App / Before you start any project you always want to clear your mind. I highly recommend the 'Calm' app. It's so dope and has so many topics to choose from. They have a paid version to access all the topics but it is very much worth it. You do each morning and they keep track of your routine. After each session, they provide an awesome quote to take with you throughout the day. It is available in the iTunes store and Google Play store.
Dropbox / Now organization is one of the main things a creative needs on and off the computer. You need something that will allow you to access all of your work without killing your phone storage. Dropbox does just that and for free. All you need to do is upload everything to dropbox and then download the app and whenever you need to download something to your phone, you just go into dropbox and hit access offline and download. You can free up your computer and your phone and never lose any data or project because it's all in the 'cloud'. Cool right? If you need more storage then Dropbox free provides, you can pay for more.
Over / It's time to start creating. I use to use Canva for everything but I found something better and its name is 'OVER'. This is the app is dope because you can create any size project, upload your own fonts, and even export into PDF. Did I mention the sick templates they allow you to use? They have 1,000's of templates and cool fonts that fit any project. You currently only use the service as an app and not online yet.
That's it for today's tips. Hope it helps with your next project. Got a topic or question you want me to cover in the next issue? Let me know by sending me messages on any of my social media @ellaaudreyrae or ellaaudreyrae.com.
