hi-speed paint!
Having a defined mission and clear vision are important, but having a burning passion is where it all starts.
Vision statements and mission statements tend to be pretty cookie-cutter in nature and can quickly collect dust if there isn’t a passion driving them.
Passion leads you to action… it gives you a vision for where you want to go and your mission gets you there. Or, more simply, your passion focuses your vision and empowers your mission.

Originally wanted to see if the tutorial would work with a moving image but alas, stroke only works for stills. Still, an interesting learning session.
Animation used is my own.

When I first chanced onto this poster above, I was wow-ed and blown away by the design! But after reading up another post and thinking further, my thoughts were challenged.
The posters are being sold and the proceeds go to funding to aid the nation.
Good will, but like others, my reaction to the above poster was ‘Wow! Where can I buy it? Its really nice’ [typical consumerist]. What I fail to do is to ask, what do I do with it when I buy it? Not only that, is compassion stirred up along as well?
I’m reacting to its eye-candy-ness, caught my eye, but what next? (I personally see this as a cool/stylised/nice design but with it, devoid of the essence that it is trying to portray.)
I further ask myself as I, too, once desired to design posters to inspire/move/call people to take action. I have two that I made here & here 3 years ago.
What am I promoting? Are my works pure eye-candy? Does it stir people?
Hope this will set you thinking too.
