Practical 5:  Maori Kowhaiwhai Design.

 

Below are the two designs that I created:

 

Maori Design 1.

 

This is my favourite design of the two.  I think it would be appropriate as a company logo. 

 

The image talks about being distinguished from the crowd, being different, being recognised for a significant achievement, or for being a particularly influential person.  I try and live my life like this.  I try to make a positive impact in peoples lives whether it's just to make them laugh or to be there to listen to them.

Maori Design 2.

 

This design could be appropriate as a web page decoration.

 

The image talks about how we all flow from the same source - birth.  And then we are challenged to take on our own path in life.  It also includes the concept of the persistence of water, where a small stream can cut through rock given enough time.  It talks about respecting older people with their valuable life experience, and the knowledge they possess that they are able to share with the next generation.
