The 'Easter Egg Design'

I really needed some software to produce an advert for my upcoming Partner Yoga Workshop on Saturday June 20th.

Trying to keep the budget low and all that, I had a go myself, using a free image manipulation tool called GIMP.

It took some time to even get the basics right. The software is incredibly feature-rich.

But anyways, here's the result. You can click on it to see it enlarged.

Elena and I started referring to it as the 'Easter Egg Design'. I leave the symbolism in your safe hands ;-)

I've been inspired by the idea of word clouds. Elena helped me with the colours, being colour-blind I can't be trusted!

For the web, I kept the image low-res. But the version that I'll use is printed on photo paper in high quality, and it comes out razor sharp. Very neat.

I'm quite chuffed for a first-time design :) It's been a productive and fun Good Friday so far... And I'm sure there's more (and better) yoga artwork to come!
