Always impressed by people who can brainstorm digitally like this, I have to make little paper cut outs of all the elements and move them around until I make up my mind. Luckily my clients have tolerated this eccentricity, so far at least.

[@HollyDunnDesign]

The results to speak for themselves! Your work is beyond incredible, so it's certainly working :)

I'm working on a Young Adult Fantasy Adventure Novel. I'm designing the cover and this video has given me so much confidence. I was worried I didn't have the skill, but we have a very similar creative process. I would love to see more videos like this, your style is beautiful.

[@lexasilvestre]

I am very much impressed with your artwork. Especially how you were able to build and keep going changing, making up your mind... I would go crazy halfway and gave up, really impressed with your talent and artistic choices.

Love seeing the artistic proces! I don't think you need to worry about your audience and whether they are opera lovers or not if you pick very well known pieces. I'm not a big opera fan and I rarely listen to classical music but even I think Papageno and the Queen of the Night are pretty fantastic. You can never go wrong with Shakespeare either :)

[@HollyDunnDesign]

Too true! One can never go wrong with Shakespeare or Mozart 😂 Thank you!

[@jesskathan]

Beautiful! Love the opera theme! Maybe you could also create illustrations to go with famous classical music pieces? :)

[@HollyDunnDesign]

I love this idea! Thank you :)

[@CuriousReader]

I love this design so much! Will it be available for order as a notebook?

[@HollyDunnDesign]

Thank you! I do plan to make this available as a notebook :) It will be announced on my Instagram when I do.
