05.03.10 Check Check Good Bingo!

I’ve been super stuck on this presentation folder design for a client, so I went into work early today to get an early start on it.

I found this on our doorstep, written on the back of a presentation folder.

I especially like the quasi-Pi and infinity symbols on the last line.  I can’t help wondering if some universal sentience is trying to tell help me find inspiration or something.

Thanks, randomness!

    If you’re anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line
    as a man of culture rare,
    You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases
    of your complicated state of mind,
    The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter
    of a transcendental kind.
    And ev’ry one will say,
    As you walk your mystic way,
    “If this young man expresses himself in terms too deep for me,
    Why, what a very singularly deep young man
    this deep young man must be!”
     
    [Works for me...]
