Summer Project: Typographic Quote

For uni I need to find a quote that sums up my philosophy on life, I've had a few ideas so I'll put them up on here and if anyone on my course reads it, let me know which one you think is the best and has the most typographic opportunity.

"Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of idea is a obstacle." - Ken Hakuta

"Then I remembered that these men didn't seem any cleverer than I was: they were highly trained, that was all. If one worked hard enough, one could master anything." - From Islands in the Sky by Arthur C. Clark

R.I.P. Black Canvas

Today I threw out a piece of art I did a few years ago, the monolithic black canvas. It will be dearly missed, as will my then planned career as a fine artist.

Idea: iTunes Boy Racer Car

I had this idea when one of those boy racer cars went by with really loud music on, and I'm sure these guys have some kind of complex where they just want everyone to listen to their music too, to share their passion. Well, that's all good and well Mr. Racer, but even if we do acknowledge your musical taste and share it, we don't know where we can get a hold of this music because we don't know the title. So here is my idea...

A boy racer car that is sponsored by iTunes, it would have apple logos on it and underglow and just look like your average boy racer car. It would be an experiential form of advertising, i guess. It would drive around with super loud music on, although it would have displays around it with the track title and artist on, and a simplified link to download it on iTunes. This way if people hear the music and think, that's quite nice, then they can check out more songs by that artist and download the album. Maybe have a bluetooth message sending it out too?

That looking down on life feeling

Do you ever get that feeling where you actually think about life and being a human and what it's all about? I just got it for the first time in a long time. It's quite a nice feeling. I get it when I read philosophy books. I guess philosophy makes you take a non anthropocentric point of view of the world. It also means you can learn long clever sounding words like that one. Gettng that feeling makes you get more done too because you take a less sentimental, emotional look on life. Haha this is a rather deep post...

I've had an idea recently, I'll post it up in a bit
