27 Million

When it's cloudy outside, which is 90% of the winter in the midwest, I just start daydreaming.

I'm so distracted from school and the things that I "need" to get done. Instead I'm thinking about posters for social issues and invitations for weddings, baby showers, etc. I can use design for so much.


"Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated."
-Paul Rand


Here are my thoughts: different social groups throughout history have used the power of voice to get their point of view across. Media is not neutral. People can get really defensive if they have an opposing viewpoint.

I'm the type where I like to calmly discuss viewpoints.

But I also like bringing up points that might be ignored.

So here is something that I've found super interesting during the past month, past year actually.

There are 27 million slaves in the world today. This comes in many shapes and forms. Learn more.

So what am I going to do about it.
