Argh, I think I’m having a technical meltdown. I need to get a gallery plugin installed but every time I have tried to upload one it has failed so I’m going to have to show you just a few images for now. The pictures aren’t centred on the page either which is how I’d like them to be but I’m going to have to live with it until I figure out how to fix it. I’m having one of those slow brain days when you swear you used to know how to fix something but can’t remember it now for the life of you.

Anyway, here are just a few images I’ve designed today for a possible cystic fibrosis (CF) and/or organ donation post. I’ve been reading a lot of CF diaries and livejournals – many from people who have now passed – and it’s got me motivated to write something about these amazing people suffering from an awful, awful disease. Why is there so little awareness about CF? I’m going to do something about it.

Pic 1 and 3 are 100% my own; pic 2 is kindly taken from the Internet (love ya) with text plonked on. Think I like 3 the best; it’s the least needy and depressing, like how most charity ad campaigns are these days. Have those ad campaigns actually been shown to increase the amount of donations?

I always design images in tandem with an article as I think it’s good to have something visual to go along with a wall of text. And, besides, with the things you can do with imaging software these days it’s fun to sit, mess around and see what you can come up with. Anyone can learn :)
