idea notebook
I made this idea Notebook for Ornament Thursday. This month's theme is "Sprout". OK, how does mine exactly reflect that? Well, I think the word sprout was chosen to represent spring and new life and a new beginning. I figure, with the weather being nicer and the season being a new and fresh change, it is time to "sprout" with new ideas and keep them organized. I hope this doesn't sound like too much of a stretch....geez. I just didn't want to do the typical flower project or green/spring project cause that's not really me.
I'm really proud of this. I feel like it is a true reflection of me and my sensibilities. I love, love, love neon...always have (since making bookmarks for kids in 3rd grade on neon paper my parents had at their office and selling them for 10¢ a piece) and I love the pop art/posterized feel of the photo. I actually used to take markers to photocopies as a kid...as shown here...

It is hard for me to do this sometime...figure out truly who I am. Working as a designer in many different facets, I have to design for others and their sensibilities. Sometimes you get lost a bit in the shuffle. This feels good.
