Unfiltered: Adventures in Color Naming

TL;DR

illustrated version of author
I am on a mission to find the perfect silver for my certificates, but adding a new color or several (I'm adding at least 3-4 golds, and now silvers) to my library is a massive undertaking. To keep everything consistent, I have to run every HEX code through a strict four-step naming scheme, update my master "Excel" roster (I use the term "Excel" even though I use a different spreadsheet app) across multiple categories, and sync it all with my Creative Cloud Library. Between the technical steps, unintended "side quests" into old archives, and general life interruptions, what should be a quick update becomes a major test of endurance.

Certificates and Awards-BTS

I’m currently planning and creating a full series of Certificates and Awards—designed for classrooms (from grade school through graduate programs) as well as professional and corporate settings.

I may open the series to allow specific requests from you—small customizations, not full client‑designer redesigns.

My goal is to make each Certificate or Award interactive, so you can type in names, add your school or organization’s logo, and personalize key fields depending on the design.

This will be an ongoing series; I don’t expect to create every certificate or award right away. I’ll likely release them in small bundles or themed collections as they come together.

So many possibilities!
