This talk was one that blew me away. It is so true that many people talk about doing things and they dream about doing them. But they forget that doing what you dream about is what really matters.

Why you will never achieve what you’ve always wanted.
When I was 18 years old I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. There were times when I felt as if I was just existing for no real purpose. I know I’m not the person who has dealt with those type of feelings. We all have a choice to remain as we are or to become more then we are.
Many people say they want to achieve certain things in their life, but the real thing that will shape their life is if they take action. A great quote that I heard from Jim Rohn recently is “Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge you’ll become a fool. Let your Learning lead to action and you can become wealthy” .
For example being a designer and producing work that you know does not fit your standards can push you or stop you to become what you all that you can. I do the best that I can to stay positive and push through the work till you get better. The main question you have to ask yourself is do I want to become more and do I want to have more. Nowadays there is no reason for anyone to have little knowledge about their chosen field. We have the internet that has loads of free information that can teach you anything.
I’ll leave you with this

Oprah Pointillism Drawing
When I first came across this video I thought well I actually did not know what to think. The more the video went on the better it got. He used just 3 colors to do this wonderful drawing. I wonder what oprah would think about it if she seen it.
Rare Eames House Walkthrough
I’m still amazed by the Eames house every time I see videos,pictures of it. From the driveway up to the house it is a visual treat. It is almost as if it makes you want to keep going and to look inside. When it shows Eames Demetrios entering It shows I believe the kitchen at 2:00 in and I love the simple layout of not having a huge table there. One major thing I noticed after watching this is that it seems as if everything has a particular purpose and is carefully placed throughout the house.
I wonder how it looks now compared to this video being shot via 1997.
Font Design
I’ve suddenly seemed to take more interest in type designers. The thought that goes behind the designing of a typeface is much more then most would think. Also I didn’t know that Hoefler and Jones designed the typeface for many major magazines.
HE’S THE COMPUTER MAN
Listening to this is so catchy. I laughed at the second top comment on this video.
Do you think this would work as a commercial nowadays being that this is from the 90s?

How mechanical typesetting works (Intertype, Linotype, Hot Metal)
Could You imagine if we still had to rely on Linotype machines for printing? I feel that something so simple as the newspaper would be more appreciated. But we have the internet available for us wherever we go. A good educational video on the linotype machine.
David Carson – The End Of Print
This is a very interesting video I stumbled across on Youtube. I’m guessing this is an experimental video david carson made. It’s very interesting to see how the typography comes in and out of the screen. I’m not sure but it looks as if this was made before finalcut and other video editing programs were well known and made.
