Ex-Libris is finaly real and in use

Long time since I designed my own Ex-Libris. Process can be seen here.

Then I did a simulation using Photoshop to see how it could look like. Now I use the same book and somehow this little project is close. Very happy with the result!

EX-LIBRIS. Design and explanation



Sometimes I feel I will never finish this. Anyways I'm designing my Ex-Libris after so many mixed ideas and drafts. It must be related to books, of course, and I will put it in every book which belong to my personal library.
The meaning is based on the 3+1 ways to get knowledge:

1.) Canned knowledge produced by others. There were so many great humans on Earth and some of them left their thinking encapsulated through the time. 
Example: Books. 
Others: Music, interviews, videos, tales and art. 

2.) Directly from other humans. Every person has something to say. We should listen and learn.
Example: A coffee with a wise person. 
Others: Teacher in a class.

3.) Learn by yourself. 
Example: Traveling. 
Others: Observing the nature, experiments and personal experiences in life. 

3+1.) Bonus! Observe a cat. You will not find a wiser teacher. A cat has the whole understanding of life. Pay attention to small details and what he does. A lot to learn.

Simulation with Photoshop to check the final result:


Btw,

EX-LIBRIS

Con motivo del cumpleaños de mi amigo ΧΦΓϘ, sí, tengo un amigo que se hace llamar así, elaboré este diseño de EX-LIBRIS personalizado con motivos afines a él.
Una pena que los EX-LIBRIS estén en desuso; incluso hay gente que no conoce su existencia, como ocurre con otras muchas grandes y valiosas cosas que, como no dan dinero, no aparecen allí donde las masas tienen los ojos. El EX-LIBRIS no sólo tiene la utilidad de garantizar que un libro pertenece a una biblioteca personal concreta, también es una señal de identidad que muestra cuán ingenioso es su autor y su capacidad para crear algo estiloso.
