I told you ‘bout all those fears,
And away they did run.
You sure must be strong.

The sincerity of this song kills me. In the Catcher in the Rye “kills me” sense.

It isn’t that hard boy to like you or love you I would follow you down down down, Cause you’re unbelievable If you’re going crazy just grab me and take me I would follow you down down down, anywhere anywhere

Things I’m liking now: patterns, noise filters, gradient maps, quotation marks, and Lana del Rey.

The saddest part
of a broken heart
Isn’t the ending
so much as the start.

Here is some more free-form design. I think it’s helping me get moving. I have been so wrapped up in “is this the right typeface,” “does this even look good,” and “does this convey the meaning,” that I’ve become over-critical with my work. I’ll be damned if I lose my passion for design in my search for the perfect and error-free portfolio. Perfection is overrated. If this particular design is about anything, it’s about throwing rules out the window.

Well, my teachers, they built this retaining wall of memory,
all those multiple choices I answered so quickly.
And got my grades back and forgot just as easily,
but as least I got an A.
And so I don’t have them to blame.

Futile Devices

It’s hard, so I won’t say it at all
and I won’t stay very long
but you are the life I needed all along
I think of you as my brother
although that sounds dumb
and words are futile devices

Sufjan Stevens, “Futile Devices”

About

A place for things I find inspiring in one way or another. No explanations necessary, although I might want to provide them for my own reference. It's easy to see things and love them but forget them two seconds later, so here I am to avoid that. If possible.
