This Is Informative, You Should Watch It of the Day: The latest illustrated lecture from The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts features psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist, author of definitive hemispheric functioning tome The Master and His Emissary, explaining “how our ‘divided brain’ has profoundly altered human behaviour, culture and society.”

This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the Japan Earthquake.
After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.
With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.
He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “
The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.
The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept. ” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s love for her child!!

1st time working with Flash. Spent half of my life with this and had some real fun!!
Here’s the list of the reminders ( there’s more in the Design Elements A Graphic Style Manual, I just picked out some important one that I’m familiar with)
- Have a concept
- Communicate. Don’t decorate
- Two typefaces maximum
- Pick colors on purpose
- Less is more
- Negative space is magical
- Treat type as image
- Keep type friendly
- Be universal
- Distribute light & dark
- Be decisive
- Measure with your eyes
- Don’t try to be original. Try to be good (Paul Rand’s quote - not on the list)
I la-la-loveeee this. This is precisely everything I learn in school/that a designer should know. And it was made by a viet? All sorts of coolness.
