FIRST THINGS FIRST:

These are genuinely some of the most intelligently written and inspiring pieces of text I've ever read.
They really allow me to understand why the send and receive brief is so important to who I am. After coming from advertising (a soulless form of creativity in my opinion) it's so refreshing to read what I have really been thinking for much of my adult life.
The concept that we, as visual communicators, could make a difference to the world is something that I have been waiting for someone to allow me to think. Caught up in a society that thrives on money I feel its time to sit back at take a look at what we have all become, a group of people that only care where the next burger king and topshop is going to be...and how we can cash in on it.
I want to make a difference that is real...fuck this industrialized, fast food world, take a look at what's right there infront of you, poverty, war, prejudice and people who don't give a shit.
No more am I this person who doesn't give a shit.
I give a shit and if I change the opinions of one person, that's one less casualty wounded by our civilization.
