Duo Digi-powers: An Artistic Synergy In My Portfolio

I think it's the prompt that's making me think these are superpowers I have, it does feel good to think of it this way but I know deep down that I'm very much lacking in these skills I call my digi-powers. But if it's something I enjoy doing and I've gotten a few good compliments on my work, I think they are more than worth calling superpower skills that I will love to improve on.

I'm very fast with learning a lot of things on digital devices as it appeals more to me than other things. Because of this, I was fast to know how to use the camera and from there, could edit my own pictures if I want to. I'll say Hive paved the way for me to discover I have these skills and develop them no matter how slowly to be better.

My first digi-power is photography and it's the oldest skill I've been building. I enjoy taking pictures of places I visit, of people and of items especially when there's a story behind it. But somehow, I don't have the habit yet to always take pictures more than what I do especially nowadays. I go through great stories with no evidence to show for it, a digi-power setback.

There have been many instances when I take a picture and I spend days, months and even up to a year admiring that particular picture. The picture is one of them for me, I took it at a market place and it kinda tell the story of market people and life in the market. The picture also serve as a memory for what I did at the market that day especially at that moment of taking the picture.

My second and main digi-power is graphic design, one I am not proud of but enjoy doing and thankfully, I'm not doing very badly in it. I've gotten good compliments on some of my works that I once had someone ask me to design a flyer for an upcoming event. I didn't take up the job for lack of time but it was something I could have done better than what I saw the other person did.

With a picture, an idea and a site or app to design, I could make magic happen as a lover of good designs. But there are no self hyping here, I'm far from being good at it. Through out last year, I spent my time on Canva app designing daily and noticed how stressful but fun it was for me to come up with something. The picture above is one of my works, not a pro then though.

These two skills are my digital superpower that needs more working on and I do have the passion to pursue growth in both skills. With time, I believe it will be an actual superpower where I'll get to create magic and make people see stories in pictures and designs I make. _{My entry to digital lifestyle prompt, you're invited to join here too.}
