Layers of meaning
“Art is a verb, not a noun.” Richard Link
“Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.” Matthew 11:28-30
Putting it all together

A new language
Let me read you a story, a simple children’s book that illustrates how emotions can be conveyed through use of colour and animals. When we are putting a page together, we use design elements like colour, texture, shapes and symbols to convey a feeling or an atmosphere. Over time trust that your unique visual language will emerge.
