Advice You Won't Mind Taking
"Advice to Sink In Slowly" is a project that gives students graduating from UK universities the opportunity to pass out advice to incoming students that will help them get through their education successfully. I'm guessing 1% of you reading this newsletter are United Kingdom students, but don't skip down to the next section quite yet.
"Advice to Sink In Slowly" is also a website with beautifully illustrated posters and postcards that contain words of wisdom just about every creative pro could use. Here are a few I like:
It's hard to see in this small screen capture, but the type in the forest poster says, "It will be worth it". That's a big improvement on the "Hang in there, baby" poster. You can buy these items or simply view them online whenever you feel like it. You may also be interested in the blogs, which have appealing imagery and information.
