Daily Activities
This was well-mapped territory for me. It is what I know, to create strong visual identities. The most effort went to the naming of the game, but even there I know the rules.
That last one takes the most time. I came up with some amazing, I thought, names that after a quick search I found somebody else used them before.
Playing around with the domain name, that is finding the .red suffix so the domain is dimday.red was just the cherry on top!
Designing the logo came naturally as the letters fitted perfectly in their formation. I love it when that happens! I wish the rest of the project came so effortlessly :)
