My Return to the Living.

So, I'm back and slightly less hefty. No, haven't lost any weight, but let go of some obligations that I felt were weighing me down. Now maybe I can focus on what I really want. I want to be a successful designer of scrapbooking materials and now I can focus better. I don't feel as much outside pressure. I have entered a contest for a spot in their shop as a designer and here is my Round 1 entry in which we had to create 8 elements and nothing else. I really wanted to focus on type because it's something I feel passionately about, yet struggle with myself in creating for my paper layouts. Here is my entry titled "One Simple Word" I went on the internet in search of things that come in sets of 8 and stumbled upon the idea that there are 8 basic emotions: Joy, Acceptance, Fear, Surprise, Sadness, Disgust, Anger & Anticipation. I then went to http://thesaurus.reference.com/ to find other words for those words that meant the same things but seemed to have more impact such as "Jubilance" for Joy and "Cooperation" for Acceptance and then formed my art around that. It's a familiar process for me, one I used back in my college days and it always seemed to be a good starting point. Take a look.
