Hi
All,
Jen
and I had the pleasure this past week of being granted the opportunity to
present to 50+ 13 year old kids. These kids, from Crawford Fourways, have been given the task of designing their school's end of year
magazine front and back cover. How cool is that? I know of a number of creative
peeps who would have relished the opportunity to do that. I definitely would
have!
So,
we were asked to come in and give these kids a short lesson on the five ‘need
to know rules’ of design. Now, you all need to understand that both Jen and my
parents are teachers, so we've tried our whole lives to escape from all
teaching of any kind! I think we were both taken aback at how much fun it all
was. These young people are the most
inquisitive bunch - asking all of the right questions, making all of the right
observations and just generally exploring their world with curiosity and
enthusiasm.
The
best part about this all is that Jen and I get to judge everyone’s designs and
choose the best one. I don't know how we're going to do that, especially when
we know all of these kids have tried so hard. But we'll cross that bridge when
we get there. So excited!
Love
You&Me
