Love, metaphorically

Love is the setting of the sun [= beauty]

Love is the tranquil flow of a river [= abundance]

Love is the flight of geese [= unison]

Love is the playful romp of two puppies [= strong bond, bursting with life, cheering each other on]

Love is the falling of a star [sacrifice]

"The Broadcaster's Left the Building"

Thank you, A2J, for the opportunity to be the cell's broadcaster for almost 2 years, through which I have enjoyed revelling in my passion for creativity - for the cell, for God. I had great, nostalgic moments. Now, having moved on, I do hope the best not for the cell, nor for the church, but for you as individuals and my companions of the time.

Incident and Injury Free (IIF) poster entries - 2004

What is IIF? One of Intel's core corporate values is to ensure a 'safe, clean and injury free workplace' for its employees and contractors, hence, the "Incident and Injury Free" motto. Various programs are held in-house each year to maintain awareness and share best practices where safety is a concern. One of which, is the "IIF poster contest" back in 2004. Quote from the organizer: "...the most creative and relevant entry would be the winner...entries will be judged on their originality as well..."

Keen to see how far I could go, I submitted the below entries. Sharp constrasts, a minimal selection of colors and arresting images were used to seize the attention of busy folks - pretty much how ads should function. Image of the "eye" emphasized the word "watch" that followed. Images of "sharp-suited businessmen" and "light-bulb heads" were supposed to represent "professionals", as were most Intel employees. Basically, the message seeks to remind professionals - managers and engineers alike - not to neglect safety practices.

Looking at all the winning entries, I just had to conclude that I probably was in the wrong place, wrong time and judged by the wrong panel. ;)
