Testing! Testing!

What can I learn by trying new things? 

I Love that I II Asked to create a poster by a friend - who really believes in my creativity. I always wonder if I can rise to the occasion. My artwork tends to be 'busy' - I wasn't sure I'd be able to produce anything calm enough to be usable. I have to say I was pretty pleased with what I managed to achieve. Especially as it gave me a big nudge to attempt adding text - it took quite some time to work out how - a few attempts, but then, I hadn't done it before - so every effort I made into this new territory was a real boost. Experience. Of course, it was rejected for a bland, non-dynamic, simple little graphic. But, my friend's faith in me, and her request had meant a lot. I need these nudges to keep me stretching just that little bit beyond what I think I'm capable of achieving. 

So, can I just say, Janina, that I'm pleased you're doing this - following up on the idea you had to just experiment with other templates and settings to get the hang of what else is available. Keep at it - all this will pay off one day xxxxx
