Dear Flexible Visual Systems Community,
Thank you for being part of Flexible Visual Systems. Whether you’re exploring the free content or supporting as a Student or Sponsor, your engagement is what keeps this platform alive. A special thank you to our Student and Sponsor members—your contributions ensure that Flexible Visual Systems continues to grow and remain accessible for everyone.
At https://flexiblevisualsystems.info/ my goal is to create a distraction-free space, free from sponsorships or ads—a place dedicated entirely to learning, creating, and sharing. This vision is possible because of the community’s support.
A Crossroads with Social Media
Currently, social media is one of the primary tools for reaching new members. However, I feel increasingly uncomfortable depending on platforms owned by large corporations whose priorities don’t align with the values of Flexible Visual Systems. Social media often takes time and energy away from creating valuable content for you. I would much rather dedicate that time to improving the platform and expanding its offerings.
This is where your involvement can truly make a difference. If you’re a free member and Flexible Visual Systems has been valuable to you, I invite you to consider upgrading your support.
Why Upgrade?
By joining the Student or Sponsor tiers, you’ll unlock additional resources, gain deeper insights, and help ensure Flexible Visual Systems remains independent.
💡 Supporter (€6/month)
Support Flexible Visual Systems for the price of a sandwich. Access the Foundation Course—Essential Lessons in Identity Design, most articles, interviews, and bi-weekly Patreon newsletters. Plus, you’ll join our vibrant Discord community.
🎓 Student (€12/month)
For the price of lunch, unlock all courses, articles, and interviews. You’ll also gain full access to our supportive Discord community, where you can engage with like-minded creatives and learners.
🌟 Sponsor (€24/month)
Sponsor Flexible Visual Systems at this level and enjoy everything in the Student tier. More importantly, your contribution ensures the platform’s independence, helping us move away from social media dependency and stay ad-free.
Your Impact Matters
Every upgrade helps sustain and grow Flexible Visual Systems. By increasing the number of patrons, I can continue to lower prices and make learning accessible to more people.
Can’t Upgrade? Spread the Word!
If upgrading isn’t possible, your support can still make a big impact. Share Flexible Visual Systems with your friends, colleagues, or anyone who might benefit from it. Word-of-mouth recommendations are far more authentic and effective than any social media post.
Thank You for Being Here
To our free members: your participation and interest mean the world to me. To our Students and Sponsors: your support makes all of this possible. Together, we’re proving that education can thrive without advertising, algorithms, or corporate interference.
With gratitude,
Martin
P.S. While I aim to focus on creating content rather than social media, some platforms may still be useful for connecting with a wider audience. I’d love your feedback: which platforms do you use most, and where would you like to see Flexible Visual Systems represented?
