IMMORTALIZED

So how do you immortalize YOU?

Barely a month ago in our advertising class, we were asked by our professor to design the book covers of our autobiographies. Being the adobe-phobic (just a term I playfully coined) that I always am, I responded with a slightly heavy heart.

But thank God for Microsoft Publisher 2007!!! Armed with stock photos from getty image, corbis, deviantart, and google images, I was able to strut my stuff. Because of that experience I learned the importance of resourcefulness. My book cover may not be the best but I am so proud of it because it’s a product of a gargantuan amount of time and effort. And now, I am thankful that we were given the chance of designing our very own book cover ’cause by doing so, I was able to reflect on my personality. I was able to ask myself who I really was, what I really wanted to be… Oh no. Now, I’m getting emo.

Now moving on to the concept. I am fun-loving gal who loves kikay stuff and all (just look at the title ), so I picture my book cover to in pink (the kikay color). Also, I want to reach a wide range of audience so I decided to tell my story in Filipino. The book is an easy read with lots of pictures to make it a little more interesting.

I really hope to learn Photoshop STAT.

So for some guys out there who is adobe-phobic like me, fret no more. There are other programs out there that are just waiting to be used and discovered. Quoting Professor Ardivilla, “It’s not about the weapon, it’s about the warrior.”
