It Takes All Sorts to Make the World...

Sometimes you just feel like making something.  You have no control over when, where, or how the inspiration strikes; it just does.  And you're left with the choice of letting it go (i.e. going to bed when it's late, listening to that lecture, or whatever real life issue is pulling you away) or saying to hell with the repercussions and riding it through (i.e. staying up into the wee late hours of the night to get it done).

The Latter of which is the direction I went last night, (and I have the bags under my eyes to prove it).  ;-)

But there comes a time when things just click.  And the idea in your head is clear.  And you know what your doing and why your doing.  And although things might not work out for the best (the idea in the light of day maybe wasn't so great, or the medium you're designing for might not be the best for your design)... at that moment, everything is coming together.  Your ideas are traveling down from your brain, through your fingertips and translating perfectly onto the screen.  (Ok, I'm exaggerating.  Nothing ever comes out perfect, but you get the idea).

And so, after working through those hours that change the night into morning, here's what plopped out.

and for fun here it is in Spanish!   :-D

The Headline is a quote from the Spanish Novel Don Quixote

I know it isn't perfect.  The headline isn't large enough to attract from across the room, and the silhouettes in the clouds come out way too dark in print to be noticed. 

But I look at it, and it says what I want it to say. It feels the way I want it to feel. And, most importantly, it tells the story I wanted to tell... Of that time in your life when you're very young, and you think about your future... and you can be anything you want to be.

......... I don't know.  It probably does none of those things for anyone else.  But I like it ;-)...
