Come i’ll tell you story
2 hours.
Too many ideas.
And one poster I still hated.
I opened Canva thinking,
“This should take 20 minutes.”
Then the usual creative chaos started.
Changed the font.
Changed it back.
Moved the text.
Changed the layout.
Tried another idea.
Deleted it.
Stared at the screen for 10 minutes like the poster was going to fix itself. 😂
Almost 2 hours later, I looked at what I’d made and thought:
“Bro… what even is this?”
And that’s when something clicked.
Instead of hiding the bad creative,
I took a picture of it.
Because this is also part of being a digital marketer.
Not every idea becomes a campaign.
Not every design looks like the reference in your head.
Not every 2-hour session gives you something portfolio-worthy.
Sometimes you spend 2 hours creating something…
and the story behind the failure becomes better content than the thing you were trying to create.
That’s creativity too.
You don’t always need another perfect poster.
Sometimes you just need to notice the content already happening around you.
So yeah… the poster failed.
The content didn’t. 😂
Anyone else ever opened Canva for a “quick 20-minute design” and lost half their day?
