Now onto this week’s Dare…

I was reading Stacy Julian’s blog the other day and she mentioned the idea of creating a seven-word bio – a seven word phrase that describes what you do. This is what she came up with: “Teach Awareness, Gratitude, Happiness, Sprinkled with FUN.” Sounds pretty cool right? Can you describe what you’re all about in just 7 words? For this week’s I want you to create your own 7-word bio. Remember, this is not just 7 random words that describe you – it is a phrase/sentence that describes what you’re about in 7 words. You can see more examples on this blog here, where Stacy got the idea from: http://www.accidentalcreative.com/features/7-word-bio

Dare Flair:
- Since this week is all about words, I want you to focus on typography. Your words should really be the main focal point of the page.

- Include a new photo of yourself (we’ll call new as taken since the start of 2009).

- This page is all about you so I want you to use colors and products that you feel represent you. Get creative with the placement of things – I want your text and elements to interact with each other. Hang elements from letters, place photos inside letters, etc.

Here’s some inspiration to get you started:
