My Minimally Motivating Prints

ADVERTISEMENT

Sometimes it’s hard to even find the energy to want to do something. When thinking of what I wanted to create for my next graphic design project it was hard to find the motivation. Until I realized the lack of motivation WAS my motivation.

Minimal Motivation is a series of elegant, slightly dark, dubiously helpful, definitely minimally inspirational print designs. I’ve always been a fan of minimalist style. The less you have to work with, the more important each and every decision graphically becomes. I find that kind of thing very satisfactory.

These inspirational quotes are all variations on the things I’ve said to myself in my head (and occasionally to a few friends) over the years.

It’s worth it to take that leap, keep plugging away at that project, be what you want to be. Things won’t always work out but you’ll be better for making the effort.

I’ve always been a fan of silent storytelling. My intent is always to make a narrative that works as a piece of art. I love trying to combine the flow of a story with the aesthetics of color, balance, shape and form.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

Love it. I've always said "Before you see the light at the end of the tunnel, you have to be hit by the train."
