Graphic Inception

I came across this amazing design by this american graphic designer by the name of Rick Slusher who won a competition to design an infographic explanation of the film Inception and what a design it is!
It is truly thought out well.
Take a look for yourself.

My Travelling Board

It's been almost 8 years since I came back from my very first backpacking experience.  I was 20 at the time and it was part of a student exchange programme in Hong Kong studying Visual Communications as part of my degree in Graphic Design.
I remember waiting at Heathrow Airport thinking to myself if I was making a mistake? what will become? and will I do well?
I remember how petrified I was leaving home for the first time on my own to this strange new land all alone, lost in translation without even guidebook.
Reaching my destination was like seeing Disneyland with your very own eyes for the first time when you were a kid.........Amazing! and from this 12 hour outbound flight to this strange land, it was just a stepping stone of one of my many travelling adventures.
I could explain my whole experience throughout my time there but it will be never ending rambling to the point where I pass out.
But my point is that it's these first steps that has made me the type of person that I am today.
After my travels I was a changed man, I had a different outlook on life as you would expect.  I had many photos and many videos to unveil but I also had other certain sentimental items that I brought back.  Things that only I would understand and would instantly bring me back to that certain point in time.
What better way to remember my experience? well since this was a time before facebook I coudn't upload them anywhere.  I had too many photos to frame and choosing a few would be like picking out the right colour to paint your walls and I'm a very undecisive person so that didn't help.
Another option was to mount my photos together into a collage but I didn't want to do that either so I collected all these little things that made my trips worth remembering and somehow put them onto this A3 sized pinboard like some sort of art piece.  For example the Fergburger menu from Queenstown, New Zealand, the 10% discount return card to the hostel/bachelor pad called Helter Skelter from when we were in Berlin, my Benicassim music festival wristband from back in 2007, currency notes from a few places and many more.
Its still there hanging in my room with just the littlest of space left.  Nowadays I use it to put up my collection of cinema tickets as I'm a bit of a film buff (sad I know) but I wouldn't change it for a photo album.
