There’s Something About…
Janice Badger
|
 |
The “IT” factor: something that generates a strong response, even if you don’t really know why you’re responding to it. There are books about it. There was even a reality TV show about it. You’ve either got it or you don’t. The iPHone has it, rotary phones don’t. It doesn’t necessarily stick around forever, either. Charo had it, but now she doesn’t. The tabloids spend countless dollars letting us know who has it, who’s lost it, and how you can pretend to have it. Is it scrappable? Sometimes.

Journaling: I cannot help it. I
think in cartoons. You know, the kind of
cartoons in which things go awfully wrong
and the characters get severely hurt. Every
now and then when somebody tells me a story,
my cartoon brain kicks in and I picture that
situation going badly amiss. I cannot help
grinning a little or even laughing out loud
when I see those images in my mind. The
person telling me the story may get a little
upset because often it is not intended to be
funny at all. But I cannot help it. I
think in cartoons.

A Little Looney by Janneke Smit. Supplies:
Software: CorelDRAW 12; Adobe Photoshop CS2, Fonts: ‘Blink Janneke style’ by Kimberly Garofolo which is my own handwriting turned into a font, Comics and Comic Strip downloaded from the internet.
Design
note:
The main photo element is made from two photos. For the top part I made a
photo of myself from behind, and used photo
editing software to remove the background
and turn it into a shape. I designed an
image of a wall and used my shape to cut out
the center part of the wall. Then I layered
this on top of the other photo. I used
cartoon callouts and star shapes that come
standard with my software program to design
the background. I used the “thinking”
callout for my journaling block to emphasize
how I think. For the title I extruded the
word Looney to give it the cartoon feeling
as well. The 39 looks like a page number in
a comic book; it is my age.

Journaling:
The GQ factor
The hottie quotient
He's the total package
And hopefully he'll never be taken away from me.
Design
note:
Try playing around with the angles... .don't be afraid to turn your camera
to different positions to get some
interesting shots and perspectives. |

Journaling:
You have been a
charmer from the start. You flirt with all
the moms at a playgroup. You can make me
laugh even when you're in trouble. Your
brilliant smile and big blue eyes will get
you - UNDESERVEDLY - out of even more
trouble as you grow up. Smile on, my
littlest love!
Quotes:
He had that nameless charm, with a strong magnetism, which can only
be called "It.: - Elinor Glyn (bottom of right-hand page). I'm convinced
that it's energy and humor. The two of them combined equal charm. - Judith
Krantz (right side of right-hand page)
Design notes:
The chipboard
letters were painted, then overstamped to
give them depth.
