PLANS FOR NEXT MONTHS
-
The main aim to provide best in class design & branding services to NEAR Ecosystem & Building a community of designers & design lovers remain the same.
-
Since we have been getting good response from the ecosystem, we look forward to create NEAR Design Guild website for a better impact & a single place to define about us, our services, our previous works & our future aims alongwith the access to Request directly from the website instead of a long process.
-
To encourage more and more design lovers & designers to be engaged in the commuity, we are looking forward to organize several reward contests in the NDG Community. (Graphics/NFT/Meme/Quiz contests) We did a meme contest for the community in Feb month
-
We are looking forward to create NDG avatar, we will put some criteria and let the community get creative and make their version of NDG avatar. We will ask them to mint their art on Paras and NDG will buy the great ones from them. In this way we can also contribute of having the transactions on NEAR.
-
Based on the needs, we can pick some of the best designers in community to work with us in some projects.
