The End from Scratch

Related to June 12th 2008 post. How I started History: The Equinox Comic Contest.

I did something that not many people could do. I started a contest from scratch and made it successful. It's beautiful to see something that you put you heart into bloom at its height.

Last night, I was working on the Equinox sign at home with my dad. As you can see below, you can see the process of how I worked it.

First of all, Dad and I picked out some random colour paper to use to cover the board.

Then choose different fonts for display. See 'Comic Contest' and 'Writing' is in different fonts.

With Dad's help, we designed the placing of the words on the board, and it looks bloody amazing!

VOILA! The next day with the help of the juniors, it looks magnificient!

After all the designs are done, the ceremony begins and the Seniors and Juniors celebrate their hardships.

The Juniors who will take over for us ^_^

I fixed the entries that came in into a nice display.

After the ceremony. Both displays for everyone to see.


Ckg Abdullah, The Vice Principal, was amazed with what I did and the Equinox entries, decribing it as 'Very Commercial'. Then he remembered the day I met him during the registering before school started. He reminded me that I wanted to become a Film Director and saw how much I progressed over the two years.

I went home today satisfied with what I did. Now I understand the satisfaction after blood, sweat, and tears. The Comic Contest is my pride and joy I will remember for the rest of my life. What you start from small can become big if you put you backbone into it. To succeed is to break boundaries, I told everyone. I made my own advertisements, my own samples, designed the board, created the displays..

Why am I doing this? So I can be remembered. Mom said to me, "The real winner is you in the end."
