Friend of a Wounded Heart
Friend of a Wounded Heart was an evangelistic event organized by SJGC’s youth group (aka TRU). Hmmm… honestly… I couldn’t recall much of the event other than lotsa singing, a dance and lotsa youths. hahhaa… I remember Weng Fook being the “Father” in extending his hand in the dance. It was pretty dramatic!
The poster above tells much of it. I recall few memories of it though. One, Desmond gave me a call during my school holidays to inform me that they need the poster 2 or 3 days after the call. Totally shaken and no idea on what to design for the event. I learnt one of the most important thing for a Christian though, that is to pray before doing something and FAITH!. I was flipping and scanning pictures from my stack of “Magic the Gathering” game cards for some inspiration but all seems too “more for painters kind of design”. Made some thought and then finally decided to do something simple that delivers the message… A wounded heart and the hands that heal. Yeap! the hands and heart was drawn (thanks to my sis) and scan for some retouch and coloring to fit into the “frame”. Picturing the “wounded heart” was difficult.. Should it be bloody? perhaps stabbed?
Second thing that I recall is getting it printed. Not able to drive at that time, my friend Chee Keong accompanied me to a printing shop (called SOS Station; they do different types of printing, mostly for commercial and for students but unfortunately it isn’t there anymore). Did we commute there by a cab? hmm… Can’t remember about that but we took a bus back to our house.
Initially, I thought this was my first design…. but nope this is my second artwork… I think… O.o
