All right!!!!

Here is the first piece of work, for me new project - The Zodiac.

And naturally, I started with the first zodiac sign, which was Aries, the ram!

To read it, start at the tip of the left horn, then follow it to the top, and then to the bottom (follow the left horn). Then do the same, but starting from the tip of the right horn! Or, if you want, you can do it the other way round!!! (GOD I love concrete poetry!)

This was incredible fun to make, while also being quite a tough challenge, but I think the result turned out quite well! (Although it was quite rushed, and I think it shows a bit... Let's just say I've had a lot going on lately.)

I really hope that the screens of your computers are large enough to comprehend the shape of this concrete poem, because this is the closest I have ever gotten to reaching the limit of my screen! If it isn't, then I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can really do about that!

So, what do you think?

Should I continue with The Zodiac Project?

Comments and PROPER criticism of any kind is accepted with wide arms and a wider smile!!!

So leave your comments below!

----------------------------------------------------------

Here's the poem without it's structure (how it's meant to be read):
"If you are assertive,
Compulsive, A leader...
If you tackle all that
Life throws your way.
If you are
Active and confident,
Assured and instinctive...
Chances are you symbolise
The extremely extrovert ram.
If these are the qualities
That define your being,
Then you are the one,
Of the first zodiace -
Aries.

If you believe that forwards
Is the only way to go.
If you are an idealist
In all that you do.
If you can be impulsive
Or remotely impatient -
Being rash in decision...
You symbolise
The combative, reliable ram.
If these are the qualities
That define your being,
Then you are the one,
Of the first zodiace -
Aries."


Enjoy!
