3 of the main columns in my life… all merged in a thought of a night of few months ago… now getting a visual shape
My facebook cover for the following days 
My friend Sean checked the English form
My mother the math side of the image
The webmaster suggested to add colorful little dots to simulate night sky.
Yeah, I’m a Facebook user too… it’s not a news (started using it back in July 2008)
It’s not even a surprise, I’m an university student, I surf through the web since 1997-1998 and chat since 1999, I enjoy talking with people from all over the world.
Recently they changed the profile layout once more… this is the time of the “timeline”. I don’t really enjoy it but there is an aspect of it that intrigues me: the cover.
At first i didn’t want to fill that field. They force you to keep the covers public, but on my desire of privacy won the idea of sharing through that window some of the Beauty I have seen and “collected” with my pictures
I thought it was nice to write down on my blog which are the Facebook covers I have created so far.
Some has been used in the past, some are being used now, the ones left are future covers I will change when… well, when i desire to ^_^
And now a calendar for the “pulzella” (Merins’ daughter):
It is focused on “panorama” because a fe days ago, while we were having a conversation via sms she told me she loves panorama shots.
The cat is an extra picture she has chosen from my website.
This one is for my friend Merins…. this time the calendar was more focused on what she loves doing (singing) and her singer friends and group of singer (Ethno Voice).
Some of the pictures (the 3 group pictures + the picture under March: the man with the guitar) are not mine, the others are picture I took on Jan 8th 2011.
And finally the calendar for my bedroom:
Under (or above) each month there is a picture taken on that month of any of the past years.
In the central line I had put soap bubbles shots for decoration and because I do love those shots
Let’s see who can say which is the “planned” pictures composition and the reason of this pictures-matching
I will have this calendars printed tomorrow afternoon.
Something tells me that the work is not over, but what is left are probably calendars that I have to send via mail due to distance issues…:)
You have already seen the Java-theme Calendar for year 2012.
The Calendar made for my brother.
On 19th December officially started “my” Christmas vacation.
This means that on 19th December afternoon I have started doing what I had been desiring to do for at least 4 weeks:
just stay with my pictures and imagination!
since it’s the end of the year I opted to go ahead with the calendars project.
On Monday I created a soap-bubble theme calendar for my mother.
This one will hang on a wall in our apartment corridor for the next 12 months.
On Tuesday I created a nature-events theme calendar for the webmaster:
For the first time he will hang his calendar in a room in north Italy. Big changes in our life are going to happen in a couple of week, I want to give him something that would make him feel at home even for just a second per day.
On late Tuesday a good man I met on the web asked me a calendar for his granddaughter. He asked me a calendar full of cats
Here it is. Except for the cat on the left bottom corner, that is the grandpa’s cat picture taken with a cellphone the rest all all cats picture I have taken from late Summer 2006 to October 2011.
I tried to use lighter colors since it will go as a present for a 7 year old girl. I hope she’ll enjoy it.
This was actually the most difficult calendar since I have no idea of what a little girl might like (but this is another story…)
Now the last big dilemma is left: WHAT ABOUT MINE CALENDAR?
I know that these calendar are not exactly the most useful thing in the world, but people receiving one of these as present seem to enjoy his/her calendar for the whole year.
Plus: I really love making them because it’s another way to enjoy the process that start with a just-white page and ends with a colorful page.
I thought to start creating them in a couple of weeks, but today the idea comes you can’t ignore it
In the last days I worked on a”flyer” and a “poster” for a group of friends that organized a meeting/talk that will take place in Messina on May 20th.
A week ago I thought I were completely unable to create such a thing.
I know, there are people that can make way better works and this one is pretty simple, but…
I fear that, for what concern the artistic field, my learning process can be described as “random learning”, a method that is far away from the “noble” self-study method.
So… I hope you won’t mind if I am proud of these little works ^_^
And I am not talking about the fact that one of the speakers is my boyfriend: the webmaster!!!
Work is over, everything went (except a little note on the printing, they turned the colors much darker and wasted a little the effect of those) and now we can go ahead in this year.
On the left the calendar for a friend, on the right the one for my bedroom
