Wayne Cole, Katrina Trautrim, Emily Johnston, Valerie Borrelli and Barrie Clulow!
Our online virtual design contest is now over and the most votes went to the design done by Wayne Cole followed closely by Katrina Trautrim’s design. Congratulations to you both and to everyone who took the time to participate. It was great fun and brought out some very interesting comments.
I’d like to share the following note I got from Val Borrelli who submitted the design of the sandy coloured house. She didn’t just submit a design, her intention was to have fun and create a story with it. Here is what she told me:
Dear Marg,
Here is what my graphic design means in my entry, just in case you or somebody else wondered: it is an all-in-one wish for the owners of the house for strength, longevity, wealth, happiness, love, warmth and friendship. The graphic is a metaphor of life; the abc’s of life (which incidentally is why I named my graphics company “Above And Beyond Concept Design”).
So here is my abc design explained:
- the sandy stone exterior signifies the warmth of the sand on the beach from the sun but with the strength of a stone saying that the house will last forever,
- The burgundy curtains in the windows signify happiness deep in their hearts as the heart is the window of the soul
- the sunflowers and roses signify a shiny, fruitful, warm and wealthy path and, the dog signifies hope that they have a loyal and caring friend that offers them protection and 
companionship in good and bad times
- Turtles have an extraordinary sense of time and location. They are highly sensitive to the Earth’s magnetic field and use it to navigate so, a turtle is included to help light their climb in life
- The bird feeders are a reminder to take care of themselves at all times and to keep happy chirping songs alive in their hearts
Thanks Val for that special story and I’m sure the owners will be most grateful for your kind wishes for them.
Speaking of the owners, they thought all of the entries were very good and they have been inspired by them. I can’t tell you what they plan next but I’ll check in with them from time to time.
