Great entry Lee!!! For me this project is a little bit like get something known from each other, something different, even personal which we did not know before... This is a great example!!! Well done and I enjoyed reading your illustration!
Thanks wolkersdorfer. I know what you mean. I started this some time ago and would never have expected to share it as it is pretty private but I felt (like so many other things) that there was level of fate as to why I started it and why this competition came to light - seemed to feel right ;)
yes, this is nice, great typographical and autobiographical approach!
It is a great idea of telling people of who you are in a simple and creative infographic! Well done!
Very personal and nicely done! You should do one for your daughter as well. ;) Hope you need a larger sheet though - this poster doesn´t leave room for many more years - unless there won´t be many important moments in future … ;)
Thanks Janne! That's a good idea, although if I took her creative direction it would very pink with lots of fairy dust and princesses ;)
Thought about how to expand the story - just reduce the size of the center graphic and add more moments... but who knows what lies ahead ;)
I´m sure of that. :D I´d keep it for her 18th birthday - the pink area will have vanished by then - speaking from experience. ;)
Well there is hope. Yesterday she told me she now has 2 favorite colors; yellow and red... I might not have to wait until she's 18 ;)
WOW i am really impressed!! the idea!! AND of course the style is awsome!!
That is great to hear and a privilege coming from you PnP! Thank you so much :)
it inspires me a lot... maybe i will do something similar for our staircase in our house! this is sooo sooo well done! and it is so personal.. its your life!
Wow - thank you for sharing a such personal thing with us here: your story! Great to know more about you - and yes this is something that makes us even happier about having decided to run this project :) Thanks for that!
Great Lee!
Interesting to see the way you create your "diary"! "Met Catherine in an Art class" sounds interesting. = )
I do naive minimal art illustrations on small blank playing cards for every wish and goal in my life. = )
Yours Jesko
haha yes. Back then in the art class, I was sooo naive.
I still pinch myself to be sure it's all real, like if one or two things in the past didn't happen, then what would've been the outcome... I find that kind of stuff really interesting... I used to be 100% fate minded, but over time learned that things don't just happen (well some things do), but most of the time you have to make your own own fate ;)
Wow, that's probably the most complimentary comment I've had on Jovoto. Thank you so much Herry :)
No mather what comes next. Your passion for design and your family grabs my heart.
Ugggghhhh I don't know how to reply to that. Such a nice comment. Thanks Prodeoweb. Really appreciate your words and support!
Wow! This is awesome! Beyond the design, tipography, color o texture, it's all about the idea. It is a great and motivating idea to do this! It makes me want to do one of my own! Thank you very much for sharing this work!
Thanks gabiarnal - glad to hear it has inspired you. that makes me happy :)
very cool personal work! love the colors! guess i would have choosen another font for the numbers, because they are too strong imho, but that is just me. again, it is really cool and i love it when designers use their gift to make themself and their loved ones happy. it is a good relief from our usual work.
Yes I had to choose in terms of hierarchy what elements should take the lead. I felt the numbers have the most importance as they set the important landmarks, so it was a conscious decision ;) Glad you like it :)
WoW Lee!!! You have a great storry here and an awesome way show it to us! :))) I'm speechless! You have a big piece of art here! Congratulations for this original work and keep enjoying your life story! :)
