"No man is an island"


"The Art of Looking Sideways"

This piece of design is quite eye catching and very visually pleasing. It is very plain but striking because of it's nature. The eye is drawn to the top left hand corner and is naturally intrigued to read the content. It reads: "No man is an Island entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main" - John Donne

This is a very well known quote and I feel that I can relate to it well. Any quote can be understood on a personal or specific level. Being in a design environment, I feel that this relates to all of us. At the moment we are all trying to complete our Final Major Project. Sometimes we feel like we are trying to do it alone. This is far from the truth. We are all inspired by each other. Sometimes we don't even realise it but things we say or do can have a big effect on other people. All we need to do to realise that this quote is true is look around and realise that we are all in it together. Besides, just take a look at your bibliography, mine is full of sources that I have been inspired by, I could never have done it alone.
