    The Channel Goes ON

    The channel launched as a public design studio, sharing graphic design process, web work, UI/UX, Spline, and Rive. Early posts tracked logo concepts, failures, mockups, a finished portfolio, and the first Figma hero section for its website.

    Unsolicited, but Fully Cooked

    July and August brought a steady run of logo systems, posters, brand directions, and visual experiments. Samson delivered the JOHN STACK identity, animated seven movie posters, reworked the Meri Podcast visuals, and explored concepts for Oppora and an Agew Midir General Hospital competition entry.

    Metaphors, Clients, and Creative Momentum

    A five-day fishing-themed design challenge turned the search for clients into five posters about emptiness, risk, change, hope, and referrals. The series later reached 8,950 LinkedIn impressions, with 153 likes and 13 comments.

    ON Becomes a Classroom

    The channel expanded from documenting design work to creating a recurring design community. Week 01 of the ON Creative Challenge taught contrast and hierarchy through THE FIRST LIGHT, received four posters, selected a winner, and Week 02 moved into WEIGHT and balance and composition.
