Founders. Creators. Business owners. Brands. It’s time to lock in! We’re officially opening our next Bookends Challenge inside the Digi Collective and this one is all about clarity, confidence, and clean execution. ✨ Bookends Challenge Focused on animating your logo Bookends are how your video starts and ends with intention. 📣 In this challenge, we’re applying Bookends specifically through logo animation. Your logo becomes • The opening statement • The visual anchor • The closing signature We’re not just making it move. I’m teaching you how to use your logo to create brand recognition! We’ll be running two challenges this month, so whether you’re brand new to the "DC" (Digi Collective) or jumping back in again, let's build our portfolios! If you’re in Drop a 🖐🏽 below Examples of Bookends are posted below. Check out "ANIMATE YOUR LOGO MODULE"

What inspires you all when you’re building creative concepts? I’m genuinely curious. I love visionaries because we're all wired differently. The way ideas show up for each of us is its own kind of magic. I’m always coming up with ideas, but I’ve learned something about myself. I’m at my most creative when I switch up my music genres; afrobeats, 50s, jazz, spokenword, lullabies … it all hits a different part of my imagination. And I have to literally force myself to watch TV or movies for enjoyment instead of studying the shots, pacing, lighting, etc. My brain is wired to search for inspiration everywhere and sometimes I forget to just… enjoy the story. 😆😫 But honestly, both sides coexist at the same time. 👏🏿🙌🏾 How about you? What sparks your creativity? What pulls ideas out of you without even trying? Drop it below. Lets get inspired from each other. 🧠

🎬 Every Story Has Its Bookends! Every story, every movie, and every commercial has bookends! The opening sets the tone. The closing seals the feeling. It’s the universal structure across storytelling and advertising. Hence why learning storyboarding is essential in the first course. 🤏🏾 Your intro and outro cards set the tone, define your brand’s vibe, and open and close your story with fiyah!! This challenge is all about those moments. 🧩 How to Participate 1. Drop your logo in THIS thread to join. 2. Create your 5 to 8 second Intro or Outro card using AI or your favorite editing app. 3. Upload your finished video under the new “Drop Your Commercial" Tab 4. Tag it with #BookendsChallenge. 5. Pro Tip: Music commands attention. Choose a sound or track that matches your brand’s energy. 🎥 Bonus You can animate your logo for your intro or outro. You can also include a 15 second teaser if you want to pull us deeper into your world! I added a few examples in my video to spark ideas, from playful to bold cinematic outros. 🗓️ Challenge Schedule Start: Monday, Nov 17th End: Thursday, Nov 20th Winners Announced: Friday, Nov 21st (I Adjusted dates since we have two challenges going) Shout out to for dropping yours!!

Hey Collective!! I know a lot of us come in with big ideas but hit that wall when it’s time to actually make the first move. Whether it’s a commercial, promo, or even a small brand asset. Your videos are really an extension of your brand. That’s why I like to call them brand assets. Let’s open up the conversation 👇🏾 Poll Question: What’s the biggest thing holding you back from making your first commercial or brand asset? Poll Options: 🙈 I don’t know where to start 🙈 The tech side feels overwhelming 🙈 I’m afraid it won’t look professional 🙈 Time — I can’t seem to fit it in Other (drop in the comments) No wrong answers here! This is a safe space to be real about where you are. Your answer might be the same thing someone else is struggling with, too.
