Designer: Maciej EkstedtNewport Parish Council, on the Isle of Wight (UK), is holding an ‘in bloom’ competition in 2012 with a difference! Instead of judging gardens on how many flowers it has, or how glamorous it is, they are encouraging Newport and Carisbrooke’s residents to grow gardens that are good for wildlife and for the environment.
Fun little design to play up a company that can carry the big stuff with ease and security. Copyright Mike Bruner-5-2012
A symbol for an idea of mindfulness (being here and now/present moment awareness). So firstly, this symbol is presented like a physical representation of present moment - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_line.svg Vertical forms represent time - past and future. Horizontal forms represent space - 360 degrees. And the one is always in the center - being here and now. Secondly, you can see a symbol of a water drop. This is the most often used metaphor to represent the idea of mindfulness - image.google.com search for "mindfulness". Only this water drop symbol is presented in a kind of mirrored way. But don’t think about it, because as mentioned above, this is time - past and future, both are illusions, stay centered in the present. “Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.” --Bruce Lee More info here - http://www.radicalcourse.com/here-and-now-symbol-present-moment-awareness/
