Camp Day 8: Waving Hello
It’s Arts & Crafts day!
Today’s Activity: Design your own flag.
Your home is your castle. What's flying over top of it? Try your hand at vexillography and create a flag to represent you or your clan.
A good tip for designing something that makes a compelling symbol: work tiny. It forces you to imagine how your design will look from a long way away, and keeps out the extraneous details:
Flag designs that often look good on paper fail in the real world. A design that looks good in the pages of a report is often confusing and unrecognizable when it is flapping in the breeze 100 feet away.
— James Clear, Lessons From a Vexillonaire: Creativity, Simplicity, and the Carefully Constrained Life
Perhaps try your flag as a post-it note?
If you’re short on ideas, here’s a quick SVG flag generator.
