Communication is a Virus - Bram Vanhaeren.

Bram makes these posters with motivational phrases. what is most influential about these is the layout and the use of type and font  to bring the text to life. The black and white makes the designs simple and effective and we'll most likely do the same with our final prints to really make then contrast and stand out to the public.

We've already decided to use just 2 fonts though for our designs as anymore can be a bit difficult to read and may even be out of context for what we're trying to do.

What is a line? - Type and typography.

Communication is a Virus - Public Poster Project.

This poster project was carried out and set up by various artists and it gives us scope for our own project as we want our quotes to seem ambiguous and out of context in order to engage the audience by the confusion so they would want to learn more and understand it.

This work does exactly this and this quote sums it up perfectly: 'Your work makes no sense to so many that that´s exactly why it makes so much sense to everyone. Is touching minds, not only walls.' 

Quotes from T.S. Elliot.

http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/18540.T_S_Eliot

There will be time, there will be time 
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet.


"Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea."


"The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man"


"The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment,
Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;
Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries
Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust." 


"What is hell? Hell is oneself.
Hell is alone, the other figures in it
Merely projections. There is nothing to escape from
And nothing to escape to. One is always alone." 


"I love reading another reader’s list of favorites. Even when I find I do not share their tastes or predilections, I am provoked to compare, contrast, and contradict. It is a most healthy exercise, and one altogether fruitful." 

Quotes from C.S. Lewis

http://thinkexist.com/quotation/literature_adds_to_reality-it_does_not_simply/201465.html

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
“Those of us we have been true readers all our life fully realize the enormous extension of our being which we owe to authors”
“You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.”
“We read to know we are not alone.”
“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.”
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”

Quotes from Shakespeare.

http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes

To sleep, perchance to dream
All the world's a stage
Such stuff as dreams are made on
What a piece of work is a man
Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind
The play's the thing
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
Be not afraid of greatness
Get thee to a nunnery
One that loved not wisely but too well
When shall we three meet again
I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
