Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup
Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup
As a football fan, it is great to see Nigeria kick off their World Cup campaign with a 2 nil win against Iceland. Iceland were resilient, but two scintillating goals from Ahmed Musa ensured that Nigeria (with the must adored and stylistic jersey designed by Nike) bounced back from a 2 nil defeat to Croatia in their initial outing.
It was a great game for football lovers as two nations delivered a brilliant performance. Commiseration to Iceland.
Looking forward to more fantastic matches from all the nations in the competition.
Best of luck to all the nations!

Creativity 2
Design. Creativity 2
Creativity is the ability to see things others don’t see; see things from a different perspective. I am paraphrasing from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi‘s thought on creativity.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is renown for the concept of Flow, and the study in the aspects of happiness and creativity.
Creativity comes through the different disciplinary ways of seeing things.
My faulty scanned piece of work has served as an abstract design piece to allow the viewer to associate different meanings to the image.

Happy Father’s Day
Hello Dads!
I forgot what day it was until I was reminded by my two lovely sons. Obviously, they were both wishing me a ‘Happy Father’s Day’!
“Thank you very much sons from the bottom of my heart for the love and gifts too.”
I have been working hard on a project that I completely forgot that I was supposed to do the same for my father.
Well, I guess we get so occupied sometimes we forget what day or month it is.
I will like to wish all the wonderful fathers out there a Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day Dad!!

Learning
Verse 19. Learning
“Knowledge is power and learning is super power” _ Jim Kwik
I worked previously on a project themed on ‘Learning’. It is common sense that knowledge is power, but knowledge is acquired via learning and discovery.
As a graphic designer, one constantly seeks knowledge in order to solve problems and to bring ideas to life. Designers are visual detectives and visual communicators. When creating work or responding to a clients brief, research is key and in the process more is learned.
The counter or negative space in the letter ‘W’ from the word ‘POWER’ are two inward pointing arrows symbolizing ‘knowledge’ and ‘super power’ you acquire or gain when you learn or discover new things. Take away the ‘P’ and ‘R’ from the word ‘POWER’ and you are left with the word ‘OWE’.
Learning is what you OWE yourself.
Keep learning.
Learning is never too much, rather, it is insufficient.
