This phrase is the idea that being the best is not what's important, just as long as your better than you were before. Remember that.

I wanted the experience of the viewer to transcend the moment and to evoke their imagination. For that reason, I used the metaphor of swimming to express what I had gathered from my writings and inquiries. For some reason, whenever I go swimming in a lake or in the ocean, the vast unknown which envelops my floated body, scares me and empowers me. And that, has very much to do with what think of (today) as being optimistic. Much of the poster I executed in a beautiful house, at the top of a mountain in the outskirts of Bogota, Colombia. Santiago Carrasquilla is a human being living in Brooklyn, New York. He studies graphic design at the School of Visual Arts and feels very lucky to do so. He often thinks he is right about everything but in the end realizes he doesn't know anything at all. http://www.citizensforoptimism.com/Tickled http://www.citizensforoptimism.com/following/citizensforoptimism.com/Tickled Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:35:06 +0000 Citizens for Optimism 1913231 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/143583/1913231/jason.jpg" width="670" height="876" width_o="800" height_o="1046" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/143583/1913231/jason_o.jpg" data-mid="9869804" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.citizensforoptimism.com/Laugh http://www.citizensforoptimism.com/following/citizensforoptimism.com/Laugh Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:18:30 +0000 Citizens for Optimism 1913235 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/143583/1913235/PhlDiBello_Laugh.jpg" width="670" height="876" width_o="800" height_o="1046" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/143583/1913235/PhlDiBello_Laugh_o.jpg" data-mid="9521254" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.citizensforoptimism.com/Love http://www.citizensforoptimism.com/following/citizensforoptimism.com/Love Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:01:24 +0000 Citizens for Optimism 1914899 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/143583/1914899/rachelwilley.jpg" width="670" height="876" width_o="800" height_o="1046" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/143583/1914899/rachelwilley_o.jpg" data-mid="9523175" border="0" align="left"/> Design by Rachel Willey "Love is such an intangible thing, so I decided to use a line from one of my favorite E.E. Cummings poems ("Sweet springtime is my time...") that, to me, gets pretty close to describing the feeling of love in words. I wanted the poster to have the warm-fuzzies that we associate with love, and since the poem is about spring in particular I wanted to make it feel lush and bright. Summer is just ending so it's also a sort of testament to the beautiful weather and everything associated with that time."
