Inspiration from My Favourite Neighbour, Mr. Rogers - #project-positivity Challenge 2

Koko and Mr. Rogers
Koko the gorilla loved Mr. Rogers, too.

I'm so happy with my finally finished entry for project-positivity's second challenge. It's been a long week!

Use your skills to create a piece of work that makes 'you' happy. Not what you think creates happiness for other people. I want you to think of something that would make you happy if you were to create it for yourself.

A few weeks ago I was inspired by some quotes I read from Fred Rogers. If you grew up in America in the last five decades you knew him as Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers was a unique, special fellow who helped kids learn, accept themselves, and be kind to others. I made some "Internet memes" with a few of his millions of loving words. I understand that the presentation of these memes may not be the best layouts for marketing from a design perspective. But, the challenge was something that would make me happy. I absolutely love the colour pallet I chose and the de-emphasis on the images in favor of his words was purposeful. I hope you enjoy. 💖






















I want to leave you with two more inspiring pieces of Mr. Rogers' media. I had no hand in creating these. Both have, at times, nearly brought me to tears. Happy tears.

Headphones recommended.


In 1969, Fred Rogers appeared before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Communications. His goal was to support funding for PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in response to significant proposed cuts by President Nixon.
