  1. I deeply connect with the "Stay Hungry" metaphor for life.

  2. The only thing is that the letters on the screen are all taken from the same angle. If I were to recreate this design, I would have the ones on the outside tilted inwards to the center, with the center letter less tilted, "slanted" twords the center. Otherwise a really neat concept and the editing of the letters makes it really visceral, makes you think about what it is. The second word-I cannot read it, what does it say? very subliminal execution.

    Wonderful vocab word Geoffrey. Thanks for sharing.

  4. op·tics
    /ˈäptiks/
    Noun
    The scientific study of sight and the behavior of light, or the properties of transmission and deflection of other forms of radiation.

    At times Parker has touched on themes of scientific optics as well.

    Optics is the branch of physics which involves the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.[1] Optics usually describes the behaviour of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light. Because light is an electromagnetic wave, other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves exhibit similar properties.[1]
    Most optical phenomena can be accounted for using the classical electromagnetic description of light. Complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are, however, often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics is usually done using simplified models. The most common of these, geometric optics, treats light as a collection of rays that travel in straight lines and bend when they pass through or reflect from surfaces. Physical optics is a more comprehensive model of light, which includes wave effects such as diffraction and interference that cannot be accounted for in geometric optics. Historically, the ray-based model of light was developed first, followed by the wave model of light. Progress in electromagnetic theory in the 19th century led to the discovery that light waves were in fact electromagnetic radiation.

  5. i love this
    love the use of the hands and map pictures
    i love the contrast between the hands and the background i think it stands out really well

    also
    i love the phrase in general
