Want to smile? Just take a look at Tània García’s colorful, detailed art! Want to smile even more? Read our exclusive Q&A with her for inspirational advice and info about her life and work in Barcelona!
What inspired you to become an artist?
When I was a kid, I really liked to draw and paint, so my parents signed me up to an art school for kids. There I learned to draw, paint, make ceramics and macrame. I made a lot of fun art projects for six years.
But when I was a teenager, I stopped drawing. In my twenties, after studying for a degree in Tourism, I decided to retake my creative side and study Art and Design at Escola Massana, Barcelona University. I also learned applied arts such as ceramic lathe, enamels, Japanese lacquer, woodcutting, engraving and interior design. Now, I am a self-taught illustrator.
Which three words describe your design aesthetic?
Joyful, feminine and fresh.
What inspires your work?
I get inspiration from trips, movies, friends, fashion, my city, vintage stuff, everyday situations and everything that makes me feel joyful. My biggest influence is the mid-century illustration style. Mary Blair, Charley Harper, Miroslav Šašek and Eric Carle are some of the illustrators I admire the most from that time. I really like the way they use textures, patterns and vibrant colors. Nature is also a great influence on my work so I love being surrounded by plants and flowers.
When you have a creative block, what pulls you out of it?
I go for a walk, have a coffee in a nice coffee shop, visit a museum or look at the sea, and take care of myself with healthy and delicious food, restful sleep and working out.
What is your proudest moment as an artist?
When my first children's book was shortlisted for the World Illustration Awards 2021 last year. Being among the 200 selected from more than 5000 artists from 82 countries was a great recognition of my work.
What's the most memorable party you've ever been to?
I remember the best parties I have been to when I lived on the island of Mallorca (Spain). I love beach and pool parties.
What advice would you give to an aspiring creator?
Don’t stop learning. Your creativity is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
Is there a mantra that you follow when you work?
When I have a challenging project, I convince myself that one way or another, I will solve it and everything will be fine. And that’s how it always happens.
Is there a theme you enjoy illustrating the most?
I used to really enjoy illustrating animals, but lately I love to illustrate people and travel destinations. It's like I met those people and traveled to those places in real life, and I have a lot of fun.
Which parts of Barcelona inspire you the most?
I feel so inspired when I visit its museums and exhibitions, walk through the old town, get lost in Els Encants flea market or enjoy the panoramic view of the city at the Carmel Bunkers, an anti-aircraft battery, which were essential in Barcelona’s defensive system during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939).
What excites you the most about your collaboration with Evite?
I love the positivity and cheerful character of Evite and its main objective, which is to celebrate life with people we love. I think I am very aligned to these values.

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
