The latest visual update from CNVS


Hey Reader!

Greetings from a post-snowy Amsterdam - what a week! The smallest sight of a snowflake and the country collapses πŸ™ˆ.

But even in amongst airport shutdowns and bike lane ice rinks, my awesome sister still made it to Amsterdam for a long weekend πŸ™Œ.

Certainly a super way to start the year is to spend time with someone who makes you feel top notch - especially if they're someone you can be a bit silly with.

If you’re also feeling overdue for some proper one-to-one time with a sibling or close friend, consider this a gentle prod to get something in the diary. Your battery levels (and creativity) will thank you for it!

Speaking of creativity, heeeeere we gooooo.....


New release next Week

I've got a nice release waiting to get out of the bag next week.

A mixture of your requests, updates to existing collections, and some new modular elements.

The countdown is on!

Miro Magic: Novel interactions for moments of joy and surprise on the board πŸ—“οΈ Wednesday 28 January, 19:00 - 20:00 CET

Most people I know love it when magical moments are planned into the board. Little interactions that create big delight in their unexpectedness.

Here we're going to learn how to apply them in different ways for different moments.

And don't be fooled by the name. Miro might be my default demo tool, but these 'magic tricks' can be applied to any tool you use.

P.S. If you like the sound of this one, check out Said's event below πŸ€“.


Are you an Icon Jar user?

Have you noticed that Icon Jar has started crashing every so often? It only started in the last month or so, and I'm assuming it's something to do with a latest app update.

If you're experiencing this issue, please let the Icon Jar team know over at info@geticonjar.com.

(Bonus points if you also mention you'd love to see persistent colour changes as a feature - power in numbers and all that! πŸ’ͺ)


Examples from the community

In my last email I mentioned we've been spoiled with amazing examples of how you've been using CNVS. Here are a few more - thank you! 😍

HuMindWise built 'Say & Slay!' - an interactive game in Miro, with the CNVS illustrations setting the stage and guiding the interactions. Love it!

The Fit for Facilitation Community uses CNVS to create community activities in Miro each month.

P.S. Join the FFF community, it's free - and full of awesome people who care about good facilitation and great vibes.

Manal adds CNVS illustrations to her printed instructions for in-person workshops, turning prompts into tangible tools. Lovely stuff!

Said has an awesome event planned for 21st Jan.
​

'Deborify your Miro Boards' spruces up common workshop activities with fresh energy through visuals. It. Will. Be. Awesome!


That's it for this one. From me and mine to you and yours, wishing you a fab day and we'll talk again soon!

Hey Reader! I hope you're well this fine day, and after this email, I hope it's even finer! The latest illustration collection from CNVS is here, and it's a lovely combo of uber useful, and uber festive. First up... Cards, frames and borders Despite having over 200+ containers, I realised I hadn't made anything significant to support the most common dimensions πŸ€¦β™€οΈ. An oversight now corrected! Inside this collection there are at least 16 styles for each ratio, and some corner edges you can...

Hey Reader, Happy New Yeeeeeaaaaaaar!! πŸ₯³ πŸ₯‚ πŸŽ‡ Ahhhh, the second day of January πŸ₯°. Got to love the smell of a fresh chapter! And as we turn the pages from one to another, I wanted to send some love and appreciation from the forests of Stromberg. I've been thinking about how a lot can change in 365 days. There have been quite some lower points, in amongst some medium-highs this year. But something that has consistently kept me fuelled is the genuine joy I take from designing CNVS, and the...

Hey Reader, I'm just finished making your Christmas gift and I'm a bit giddy with being reminded how easy it was to make a fairly simple Miro board look good with CNVS. Other than the card designs themselves, this board took me less than an hour to make from scratch. Less. Than. One. Hour. Mission success for 'creating a toolkit that makes designing visual workshop canvases easy and fun' I'd say! Granted, I design for a living, so my cursor does move across the board with speed. But still, I...
