Opposite Quotes

Daily Inspiration

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
- Elie Wiesel

Think Exist 

- The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
- The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.
- Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin.
- The opposite of love is apathy, and hate is really the same as love. If you're so consumed by hatred for someone, you might as well be loving them, because you're thinking about them for the same amount of time.
-The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.
-Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.

Visiting Professional: Rob Ryan

On Friday 25th February, I attended the eagerly anticipated talk from artist Rob Ryan. Rob has been described in the past as a graphic designer, but he considers himself an artist, mainly because this is what he studied at art college. It was hugely inspirational to hear from an artist whose work I am so fond of.

Visiting Talk: D&AD

D&AD

D&AD is a charity, established 1962, which looks for creative excellence. It promotes, highlights and supports creative talent. Every year there is an annual, and design awards. The criteria for the work submitted is that there must be good ideas, which are well executed and on brief. The most important thing is originality - new ideas, and the work should be presented in a way that hasn't be seen before. It should demonstrate your skills, communicate quickly, refer to the brief, and have not been done before. Push the brief, make it interesting.

In the first round, the judges ask whether a piece answers the criteria or not. The work that does goes through to the second round, and the judges agree/disagree about what they like. A shortlist is made, and in the third round it is decided who will take first place etc.

Shellsuit Zombie's advice:

1. Go further - don't go with the first idea
2. Go crazy - don't be embarrassed of your ideas
3. Go original - with a groundbreaking concept
4. Go in other peoples shoes - whats in your head might not be what others see, make sure it makes sense
5. Go and try - understand the product/service you are promoting
