Things I have Learned in my Life So Far

A site by Stefan Sagemeister, one of my favourite design guru types. From the site:

The idea for this site originally came out of my own list in my diary, under the very same title: Things I have learned in my life so far. Astonishingly, I have only learned twenty or so things so far.
[...]
So here I extend this same question to you:
What have you learned in your life so far? What is it that you are fairly sure about? What is it that you believe in by now?
Please do write it down beautifully. Design it digitally, photograph it, draw it, scan it and upload it. Use any media that works for you, paint, sculpture, film….

Go on, submit something! I may even myself...

... to Niki Fisher who initially wanted to be a fashion designer because 'I would only draw women' - word. She ended up an fashion illustrator. Not sure about those heels tho...

Yes, a little typography pun, coming to a bond t-shirt near you. Made from all the standard fonts available on your pc... minus comic sans because it doesn't count:

I've been loving the Northern Territory advertising campaign for ages now and wondering who did it. I love the wit and simplicity of it... thought it's often not easy to come up with stuff that seems simple!

Here's an example of stills from an animated gif though I do prefer the print adds, especially the black and white ones in the newspapers. I'll try and find some.

So I emailed the Tourism NT to find out who did it: Frost Design. I really admire Vince Frost's work and should have guessed...
