After hearing English author Neil Gaiman’s commencement speech for this year’s graduating class at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, we couldn’t shake the memory of his words on mistake-making. Our graphic designer Ryan was equally taken by Gaiman’s advice, and fearlessly took on the task of bringing this Quote of the Day to life.
PAST QUOTATIONS:
Quote of the Day: Eileen Caddy on Life
Quote of the Day: Eleanor Roosevelt on To-dos
I love this, especially the “mistake” in the type. Keep ’em coming (quotations, not mistakes).
Neil Gaiman’s commencement speech was awesome! Great quote choice and beautifully designed!
So great, not only the quote but also Neil Gaiman! I think another great quote would be ‘Thanks for the doubt’, by David Bowie… it’s one of the quotes of my life! If people don’t doubt me, I never endeavor to try to do better to show them that ‘I can do it’.
American Gods was my introduction to Neil Gaiman, effin mental. 🙂
Yay Uarts!
how can I get this as a poster?
I want one too! It’s perfect for my classroom!
This is really very nice but I can’t help thinking that if you just left the mistake in there and didn’t highlight it, it might work better..?
I love the “insert e”
That “e” was a nod to his wife’s video of her song “Want It Back”, I think.
And yeah, I second that comment, Tamara…it would make a great poster.
Hi! I think this is great – I linked & posted this on my blog on learning. I hope you allow reposting. If not, I will be glad to remove the picture from my blog and just post a link. Please leave a note on Oppimisentaidot.wordpress.com, it that is the case.
I’d love this for my classroom too!
I’d also love a poster of this!!! Please, please, please make one available!!!
Me too – poster please!!
I’d like to use this for my classroom.
Is this available for purchase?
Love it! Printed it for my sewing studio, LOL.
Can you send me a jpg of this? Or sell me a poster? I love it!
May I use this for my classroom too?
obviously like your web-site however you have to test the spelling
on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find
it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand I’ll
certainly come back again.
How can I get this for my classroom?
Very nice article, just what I was looking for.
