SO BIG!

 

Everyone who sees my son does not believe he is 3 years old. In fact, for a year people have been telling me he is the size of a 5 year old! The doctor has placed him in the 99th percentile for height since he was 6 months old – and I wanted to keep track of my little beanpole!  I created a growth chart to measure his progress, but the paper one I received at his baby shower just wasn’t cutting it. I wanted to design something more durable and unique, something just for him.

I used Adobe® Illustrator to design my chart. I wanted to create something that he could use as he gets a bit older and his tastes change (for example his walls are now BRIGHT superhero red – a color he picked himself!)  I used many bright colors and bold shapes. (Tip: the ruler tool was very helpful in making an accurate scale.)

Once I’d locked in my design, I took it to FedEx Office and had it printed on vinyl material. It’s tear and scratch resistant, and lays flat nicely for an extended period of time. I gave it a polished look by adding grommets in the upper corner to hang it.

Now we have a fun way to see when it’s time to start saving for those basketball shoes!
