Here's a rough guide on how to write your spotlight feature:

  1. Brief Introduction: A short paragraph about who you are and what you do.
  2. Showcase of your best/favorite works (4 to 8)
  • For each you can add:

    • Description: What was the project about?
    • Visuals: Include images or videos.
  • Optionally (for each):

    • Challenges: What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
    • Achievements: Any notable outcomes or feedback?
    • Personal notes: Why did you like this work, any interesting background story, any special inspiration for this?
  1. A bit more about you:
  • Background: Brief biography and career highlights.
  • Design Philosophy: Your main principles or approach to design.
  • Tools and Techniques: Favorite tools or methods you use.
  • Inspiration: What inspires your work?
  • Future Goals: What do you aim to achieve in the future?
  1. Final Thoughts
  • Message to Readers: Any advice or personal message, a quote, anything you learned, you want to share?
  • Contact Information: How can people follow your work or get in touch?

You can see our first Designer Spotlight article here.

The featured image should be of ratio 4/3 (1600/1200) like this example. You can create your own version with your own twist for the featured image, just include "Designer Spotlight", the Codrops logo and your name and image/logo.

For Instagram (if you're on it), it would be fantastic if you create some slides like here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-INLhNiYsf/?img_index=1 which we can then share as a collaborative post.

If you need our logotype in vector format, you can download it here.
