Life, it is such a puzzle, we come across obstacles, problems, and ideas we are unclear about.
A lot of Art is an analogy of exactly that.
Though all four slides are the same thing, the first is to represent a problem, we have a solution for it but its a bit difficult to read (the solution is a bit wary) Then the second slide which represents change over time, shows that the solution/idea is a little clearer for solving your lifes obstacles, over time your idea becomes even more clear, and finally exploding into a big fantastic solution that you don't even know what to do with because you are excited and it all becomes more than you imagine.
Henna designs inspired me- Yes i drew this just with a normal black ball point pen and paper.

My First attempt at Typography was shall i say a failed version? well i love henna, or as they call it in my language "mehndi" i thought to myself that i will write the alphabet with this, at that time, just a beginner, i knew nothing about the rules of typography.especially x-height of the letters, the stem, the ascender, the descender, i mean nothing! but yet i experimented anyway just to be creative and start my first typography attempt. I've attached a picture that explains the typography jargon i'm talking about for those of you thinking, "what are you on about?"
Sorry the quality might be a bit bad but i scanned it from a book.
The book is 'Typosphere by Pilar Cano and Marta Serrats.

and well this is my first typography attempt when i knew nothing and thought how cool am i making the alphabet, not even knowing there was a subject called "typography".
Well i'm swamped with work so thats it for now.
Have a good long weekend! Especially you Genna!
