Admiration
We all need a guiding star. Someone to look up to. Someone who shows us the way. When we encounter a truly admirable person we often feel inspired, educated, and encouraged to do better. Expressions of admiration can be hidden by a sense of humility or pride. But showing someone you admire them is easy. Give a compliment. Say the nice thing still left unsaid. Sing someone’s praises. Sometimes you’ll discover that the admiration goes both ways.
About the Design
This depiction of admiration is viewed from a child’s point of view, highlighting the anticipation and bliss of being presented with an ice cream, as if delivered from heaven with a sprinkling of glowing clouds and topped off with a dreamlike palette. Milan hopes his design serves as a sentimental reminder to enjoy the smaller moments in life, in this case the simple, enduring memories from childhood summers.
