Give me a word, a feeling, a picture. →
I am increasingly aware of how little I write these days, so it’s time for a little exercise. Send me a word, a feeling or a picture of something fleeting and I’ll try to capture it with words. Will try to post my attempts if they’re not too horrific.
Thanks in advance!

Care a little more, please.
hereticnarrative:
I get not giving a fuck. I get it, I really do.
It makes everything really simple and clean; it makes moving on after someone hurts you or disappoints you much easier. Not giving a fuck means that you can have more fun more often with fewer inhibitions or regrets.

Sometimes Jashanmal Bookstores ask me to do some design for them, and it’s always a big treat for me. This time was definitely the most large scale so far. For their refurbished Mall of the Emirates store in Dubai and a brand new store in Kuwait, I was commissioned to create a set of category signs that communicate to customers what genres/products they...
