Ive always had a thing for the tropical designed houses Ive lived in. Now with some study under the belt I can do something about documenting my home towns beautiful "old" 65 yo residential government homes. Ive been trying to get a copy of David Bridgmans Thesis on B.C.G. Burnett since July. No one wanted to part with the copies they had. So I wrote to David who a successful Architect, Interior Designer and Graphic Designer in Darwin. Took a while for him to respond and like sister says," if its meant to be the connections will happen in the most unusual places". This is certainly the case for me getting a copy of this document. Here is his thank you card for sending me the document on CD no cost to me so I can use my text to voice software to read to me. Feeling rather blessed.
So when I sat down at 6am this morning to design a card for him it was rather scary as I don't know much about this person. So I gave it over to the unconscious mind to come up with something. After I finished it I sat back and analysed the meaning in what I had drawn. The organic shapes signify earthiness, the leaves pointing off the page mean movement in a discrete direction and the pattern at the top is a path. I coloured the leaves on the back first and didn't realise they bled through to the front which could have been viewed as a mistake, as was the reverse path colours but I think it added something to the whole design. Looks rather blokey don't you think?
