lies and truth

American designer Justin Barber is a visual designer at Google. He has come up with a series of papers Truth and Lies. He has tried to develop a theme presenting the lies we tell ourselves and others. He has used written phrase, we usually say out loud, and in brackets says that we actually have in mind and made them into posters. Graphic design is clever and tongue in cheek and very simple yet impactful.

step back

The "moving forward' quote sprung  to fore, the idea of whether or not life is Linear.And whether a graphic could be created to signify how one's life has been shaped over the years. We called it the 'Life Lines' exercise and asked several people to participate . The participants, aged between nine years to seventy five years of age, sent in their own 'lifelines' that were their individual takes on their own lives. We are sharing some of the phenomenal results that we got for this exercise. And would like you to send in yours too. We will include it with all the other fantastic lifelines!
