couple of times before i was trying to start a blog but i never had enough motivation to carry on and all the excitement was finished after the first post. so this is my 4th or 5th try...but this time it's different. before i didn't even know exactly why i would like to have a blog and what for. on one hand excited on the other ashamed i was beginning from nothing and going nowhere... now thanks to the fact that many things changed in my life i have a real reason ( as a designer ) to have a blog in which i am going to document my work progress but also create my visual library of things i want to keep in my mind.
recently i had a chance to work with a young Polish graphic designer - Ewa. we go to the same college and she asked me to photograph her work. And even if it might seem obvious for everyone what is blogging and why people do that i think that working with her and repeating endlessly the same sentence, cutting out separate words and letters really helped me to understand what is blogging and why it's so important to share our ideas. To create the poster for our college exhibition Ewa used Herman Melville's words: 'We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand visible threads and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results'.
