Judy Garland

“Be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.”

This quote by Judy Garland has stuck with me ever since fresher's week from two years ago. It was handed out on a little leaflet to promote the Nightline at the Leeds University and I think it was really encouraging and suitable at the time. As a new student going into a different place from home can be emotional and the little quote just kept me going.

From a professional point of view, especially as a designer, I think this quote really does say a lot about someone's personality. I think as a designer, it's much more satisfying to have your own style and way of working rather than follow a set trend and try to please the client with something that already has been done. This road I'm guessing will take longer but I think it would be worth the wait at the end. 

(although not so keen on the typography. too much going on- it would of been just as effective if it was a simpler)
