Choosing a skill

Start with the artifact you want to make

Visual skills in this category produce different kinds of work: a finished composition, an interactive experiment, or a consistent theme. Decide how the result will be viewed and shared before choosing a workflow. Include the intended format, dimensions, subject, and any brand constraints in the brief.
