NICK VUJICIC
Nicholas James Vujicic or people call him NICK VUJICIC was born in Melbourne, Austalia, 4 December 1982. He born without hands and legs, whereas when he is still in his mother womb, doctor says Nick is fine and a health boy.
However, when he was born, his parents was very shock and don't expect this will be happened to their son.
Finally, because his family is a Christian who really obeys with God, his parents try to accept this condition and also try to educate Nick as a normal child.
Nick's mother always to educate and support Nick to be an independent child. Because of his efforts, his faith and support from his family, Nick grows as a strong child in God, a smart man, a wise man and also he has become a famous motivator in around of the world.
His motivation really change a lot of people in the world. Nick life story has been an evidence the power of God to change our lives to be very valuable and useful for other people.
Nick Vujicic has proved that his weakness is not his reason to always be sad and be angry to God because of his condition, but because of his ability, he has change the world to be more positive, help a lot of people by his own company, LIFE WITHOUT LIMBS.
LIFE WITHOUT LIMBS is one of Evangelistic Ministry which share the same hope and genuine love to other people. This ministry has go to 63 countries to give hope and love in Jesus Christ.
Beside of his profession as a motivator and an entrepreneur, he is also a writer and his books have been best seller, then have been translated into so many languages.
LIFE WITHOUT LIMITS was published on 2010. This is the first of his book. The reason why he wrote this book is because he wants to touch all people who know him and more know about him. His hope is by this book, there will be a lot of people will change and get motivated to more appreciate their lives like him.
In this book, he also tells about how he tries to change his mindset from negative thinking into positive thinking, how he can starts his carrier as a motivator when he just a 12 years old.
I am as the reader of this book, I can feel the power of how he can give positive impact to the readers. Maybe that;s only a simple story, but it is not only a story, because Nick really shows that God can do everything and change impossible into possible.
In my opinion this cover book design is very simple, with his real photo as the background, and simple typography. However, it is very clear and can be understood by other people.
On 5th June 2012, Nick Vujicic change the cover design, using different photo. In this cover book design, he wears red shirt, but the typography is same with the first cover book design.
LIMITLESS "Devotions for a Ridiculously Good Life" is published on 2nd April 2013 and this is the second of his book.
In this book, Nick Vujicic has chose some Bible verses that is suitable with his condition and he wrote the reflection and also true story which relates with the Bible verses.
However, in my opinion, the cover design does not relate with the content of this book. I don't understand why the designer uses this background for the cover book.
LIMITLESS "Inspirations for a ridiculously good life" was published on 1st May 2013 and this is the third book of Nick Vujicic.
This book helps the readers to face their problems and their lives with hopes, courage and confidence. Topics include faith, personal crises, relationships, career and job challenges, anger, health and disability concerns, self-esteem, responding to intolerance, finding balance, the power of dreams and many others. Nick has proven that even the most intimidating challenges need not prevent a limitless life.
The cover design itself is not too much different with previous book. It is still same background and the same photo with red shirt.
The typography has strong style to emphasize more about LIMITLESS itself.
Personally, I am more like this cover design rather than the previous one. It is because the strong typography can also different effect to the design.
UNSTOPPABLE "The Incredible Power of Faith in Action" was published on 31st December 2013 and this is the fourth book of Nick Vujicic. By this book, he invites all the readers to never give up when we still faith in God. Unstoppable means, there is nobody can stop us to do what we want, even though maybe for other people we can not do that.
From the cover design, I can understand why the designer use Nick's photo when he was surving. Some people might think that Nick can not surf because he does not have arms and legs, but because of his hardworking, he can show people that he can do what people doubt about him.
STAND STRONG "You Can Overcome Bullying" was published on 15th April 2014 and this is the fifth of his book.
This book gives hopes and the tips how to overcome bullying in school or in environment. The reason why Nick wrote this book because, when he was a child, he also got bully by his friends. By this book, he tells how he can face it until all his friend can respect him.
Moreover, he wants to tell people, especially who have bully experience to be strong and believe in ourselves that we can pass it well.
The cover design itself is very nice, neat and clear message, suitable with the content itself. The background can also tell about the content which the bully are usually happened in school.
THE POWER OF UNSTOPPABLE FAITH "Your Keys to a Fulfilled Life" is the sixth book of Nick Vujicic and it has been published on 16th September 2014.
The photo which is used for this cover book design is same with the previous book. It is because the theme of this book still relates about unstoppable, but it is more talking about faith itself.
In this book, Nick tries to explain to the readers that there is nobody to stop your faith in God. Faith has a power to change our mindset and give us courage to do impossible.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING "The story of an extraordinary life" is the seventh book of Nick Vujicic and has been published on 3rd January 2014.
This book is the collection of Nick Vujicic's stories from his previous book, Life Without Limits, Unstoppable and Limitless.
The cover book design is so bright with a farm background. The typography is also suitable with the cover design with white and yellow colors.
LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS "A Remarkable Story of True Love Conquering All" is a book which was written by Nick Vujicic with his wife Kanae Vujicic. This book is the eighth book that Nick has been published and it was released on 18th November 2014.
This book tell about the true story about how Nick Vujicic meets his wife, Kanae Vujicic. Before he meets Kanae, Nick doesn't expect that he can get a beautiful wife who can accept his condition, but because his faith, finally, he realize that God is a good matchmaker. Because of this experience, he share to other people that God will give us a good partner in the right time too.
I like the book cover design because the photography is very clean and clear. The typography is also suitable with the cover design.
This one of poster design when Nick launched his talks. The title of this poster is No Arms, No Legs No Worries.
I don't really like this poster design because the pictures are not clear. However, the title is enough clear to tell people what is the talks about although there's no detail about the event.
This poster event has more detail information and the design is quite interesting.
It is clear design with suitable typography.
This is a simple banner design with photography background. In my opinion, the typography is clear and suitable with the background itself.
This is one of poster which tells about book launch, UNSTOPPABLE. I like the design, because it is clear, not too much colors, clean and interesting photo. This poster will help to sell the book in the bookstore.
This simple poster tells about the event of Nick Vujicic. There is enough information. The background used water brush effect which is unique and different with other poster. However, the colors are dark and doesn't match with the event itself, which is about sharing hope and love to other people.
This is one of my favourite quote posting design. It is not only because the writing, but also the typography and background which are very nice and very neat.
God's plans are the words that has been emphasize with upper case and bold to show the main message of this quotes.
This is another quote posting design which I also like. The design is so simple and the background is suitable with the quotes itself. I can understand what the message itself directly from the design.
It is simple typography and one word that has been emphasize to tell more about the message itself.
The reason why I choose Nick Vujicic as my inspiration is because he has showed to me and other people that weakness is not the reason to be lazy, sad and hate this life. That's why because of the weakness, I can be strong and learn to always rely on God.
Nick writing and his speaks have change my mindset and my point view of my life.
His life story has inspired a lot of people and change people to be more positive. He is not a designer or a graphic designer, but by see his book and his poster when he did the advertisement, I can learn about layout, typography, and photography.
I hope, Nick Vujicic can publish his book again to motivate and inspire other people. Giving hope and share God's love are important to help people living their lives.
