Concept statement

I wasn't so concerned with meaning for this design, but just wanted to make something that was fun, cute and portrays the theme differently to others. So I drew this little character in Paint, and then coloured it in PSP. To me, "bounce" as in bouncing balls, bouncing/jumping around is very much exercise related :)

Where in the world would you go to and why?

I want to visit many places in the world but if I were to go on exchange, I'd like to go to Japan because I've been studying Japanese for a few years and I've liked the subject a lot. I haven't been to Europe so I also want to go there someday... I find the history, the culture interesting.

Favourite stuff?

Food! I love food! I love to try out all sorts of food, provided it's not junk like McDonalds. I also like drawing, being with friends, walking my dog.

Three people you'd take to a desert island?

Wouldn't it be mean to drag 3 people onto a deserted island with me...?

What will you be doing in 10 years?

No idea, I'm not even sure what I'm going to do next year.

Why should you win this competition?

I didn't really enter again to win as such, but I like looking at designs, being inspired to make my own designs, and exchanging comments with other people my age on this site. However, I do think my design is unique and hope it can appeal to lots of people. And of course, I'd like to win because I really want to go an exchange program before I start university. By the way, thanks to the people who voted ;)
