Art & ✝️

 That is a fantastic intersection to explore, especially with your background in Digital Multimedia Design. Throughout history, art has been one of the primary ways people have expressed the beauty and complexity of the Gospel—from ancient cathedrals to modern digital illustrations.

Since you're balancing life as a student, a mom, and a blogger, you have a unique "canvas" to work with. Here are a few ways you could merge your design skills with your faith:

1. Minimalist Scripture Art

Since you’re learning professional design tools, you could practice typography and layout by creating minimalist Bible verse graphics. These are great for:

 * Your Poshmark "Thank You" notes: Adding a small, beautifully designed card with a verse.

 * Blogging: Using your own custom-made headers instead of stock photos.

2. "Real Life" Digital Collages

You mentioned wanting to be sincere and wholehearted. You could create digital collages that layer textures of your daily life (like a photo of your morning coffee or your kids' school) with a meaningful verse. It shows that your faith isn't just "Sunday morning" art—it's "Leechburg, PA, 2:00 PM on a Tuesday" art.

3. Visual Prayer Journaling

As you work toward your weight loss and health goals, you could use your design software to create a visual journal. Tracking your progress alongside verses about strength and perseverance (Philippians\ 4:13 is a classic for a reason!) can be a powerful way to see God working in your physical journey.

4. Faith-Based Blogging Graphics

Since you already have a blog, you could create a "Verse of the Week" series where you use your DMD skills to design an original graphic for a passage that "seemed good" to you that week.

Since you're in the Digital Multimedia Design program, are there any specific design styles (like photography, illustration, or typography) that you’re finding yourself drawn to lately?
