What would you do?

I was skimming through some Blogger blogs and I came across an image that just stopped me.

I was sitting there thinking about the stuff i’d do, then it hit me like a brick – why am I not doing these things?

I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this quote since now, but as it goes, this is definitely up there with my favorites along with Grace Hopper’s “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission”.

Summer Project(s)

Term has started again, just had my first day back and handed in my summer project. We had 1main project and another not so main project. The briefs were simple. Watch 3 films and produce an ‘Emotional Response’ to one of them. The films were Carol Reed’s ‘The Third Man’, Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Spellbound’ and Jaques Tati’s ‘ Mon Oncle’ – which is the one I did my emotional response piece on. I played around with a few ideas. Originally I was going to make a video that causes the viewers to feel the emotions I felt during the film, but I decided on a photo montage with a goat (which represents me) and the emotions spewing from it’s head.

Here’s that piece:

Emotional Response

Then I had to find a quote that sums up my philosophy on life which for it I used “If you don’t open your mouth, you don’t get fed” as it can apply to anything, such as business, life in general, or actually eating. If you don’t make yourself known or speak out and get noticed, who’s going to pay you to do a job over someone else? Then make it into a typographic piece, so here is the piece I produced for that quote: (click image to make it bigger)

Typographic Quote

So that’s that.
