This was more of an existential exercise. As creative people, we sometimes ask ourselves if we’re still capable of making new things. Have we lost the spark? The curiosity? The desire to create something that feels meaningful?
This personal project had only one goal: to make something—anything—and step outside my comfort zone. The idea was to produce a piece using both old and new techniques and skills. From a lettering sketch to a poster, from the poster to a series of mockups, and from the mockups to an animation made in Blender.
This poster is simply a gentle reminder that sometimes we just need to do the thing we know we’re meant to do, without fear.
P.S. The text at the bottom of the poster (also included here) is a transcription of an MF DOOM interview, which became the inspiration behind this project.
“Follow your heart it’s number one rule. A lot of people might not see your vision yet, you know what I mean? People might call you crazy or think it won’t make sense. Follow your heart and just follow it all the way through and that’s when you’ll see you making new ground and people will appreciate it later on. Never try to do something to impress the next man or the next woman, it’s really about what you see and you know what you have inside. Everybody’s a unique individual here, so you have something to contribute, so whatever it is follow that and bring it out and share at the table with all of us.” — MF DOOM, Number One Rule.
