The cycle of life often called the circles of life or the stages of life, are very common for all the people. Every moment in life has it’s purpose and to evolve one should experience that moment consciously and learn from it. Often things or moments in life tend to repeat themselves at a very specific given time. Then it is the time to recognize it and apply the hard earned knowledge to control the outcome and be in the position you want to be.

Changes are hard
I haven’t written in a few months and the first question that comes up in my mind is why? The generic answer is that i didn’t have time. Actually, there were happening some major changes in my life, some of them which i am very proud of. I have finished my academical studies, for now. Instead of exhaustion I felt that I need to do more and within 4 months I have changed my job, moved to another city, bought a new car and switched completely to OS X. It’s like a snowball effect, once you get into the game you feel that you need to do more and more.
Ok, then what is the catch for the title of this post? Changes are really hard, they are, they throw you out of your comfort zone and force you to take new decisions that you have never taught you would need to take in the near future, they force you to see something else, or at least to see things from another angle. But this process is hard and painful. At some point you may seem very confused and think that things may not come out good in the end, but then something strange happens, you start to see another path, things that you took as undoubtable facts are questioned, rethought and rewritten.
Being again in the posture of a newcomer is great, having to choose a new place to live, a new lifestyle, a new daily routine force you to think about even the simplest decisions like: where would I shop for groceries today? I don’t know about you, but when I hear this, numbers start to flow through my head, simple calculations and analysis are going on.
Changes attract a lot of unknowns in your life, a lot of things that you are uncertain of, a lot of things that need to be adapted to fit your needs and expectations.

Beautiful art made of junk
In the spirit of the aesthetics of ugliness the washed up photo series is a great example of beautiful art made out of junk. I can only send my congratulations for this great idea to Alejandro Durán.

A blip
Some of us had it, and some of us didn’t, but living a story like this is amazing. Excellent storytelling and realization.

VW Beetle Advertising
There is no secret that I always liked the VW Beetle (both old and new), but I newer knew that it had so beautiful, simple and intuitive advertising campaigns. Build with the intent of simplicity in mind, the old VW Beetle was produced from 1938 until 2003. The VW New Beetle came in 1998 and it is still produced today. Beetle is a name with tradition and has a special place in the car manufacturers world.
Here are some of my favorite VW Beetle ads, both old and new:

Durex – Aggressive Advertising
This is what I like to call clean, simple and aggressive advertising. It simply gets to you in a very subtile manner and it sticks in your head. There are no expensive photo shoots that use special gear and an army of staff. It’s all about creativity and a simple message. This add can be done even with MS Paint. When I see this kind of work, I simply stop and observe how brilliant the idea was and how simple. This is insane, i love it.
