I Knew He Would Fly

My son, Marshall, graduated from college this weekend, a bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. Of course, I am proud of him as his mother for having achieved this goal, but I am also impressed with his drive, perseverence, artistic gifts and abilities even without being his mother. And so, like all graduates, he begins a new chapter. I made him a card. Here is the cover. Here is the inside. Here is a closeup of the inside message. And here is the backside. I also made him a banner (in a matter of several hours)on brown paper- you know the kind that is used for stuffing/packing. I really had set out to make something to wrap a gift in but it turned in to more of a banner. IN order to photograph it I had to tape it to a door. This is how it started.And then I added some pictures of him at certain points in his life and it ended up like this. Here are some closups. Lastly, I don't know too much about graphic design other than it is big part of this world today. I spent some time going to my son's website. It was pretty "mighty." I hope your weekend has been a good one. Thanks for visiting..............................jo I am linking this to Aimee's Glue it Lounge on Tuesday since there's a heckovalot of gluing and pasting going on here.
