Knowledge Is Power

Pattern Source

This is my original design.

Block Title

"Knowledge Is Power" is our family motto.

This Leg of the Journey – Completed November 2007

Our family motto in Latin is, "Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est," which translates, "knowledge is power."

When designing this block I wanted to use symbols of knowledge. I thought about using many different elements, including a lantern, and tested the look of the block. I finally decided on a laurel wreath and a book, and on the pages of the book, our motto in Latin.

This design would work really well with any motto or sentiment.

Lesson Learned

When designing a block, make mock-ups to test the various design elements. You'll know when you've found the right design.
