when i was a freshman in college, it would have been nice to get some sage advice from the more experienced kids on campus about what school would be like. the first year students at the university college falmouth receive a gift of a poster from recent graduates, permanently inked with tidbits of wisdom and gorgeous, inventive design. it’s called the advice to sink in slowly series. the more you peruse the selection here, the more you realize that it’s not just filled with a sense of humor and clever musings, but also astute advice that can be applied in everyday life too.

i’ll take these over cheesy motivational posters anyday!

bonus: if you like them, you can buy them! the A3 (11″ x 17″) posters are only £5.00 each, so why not buy more than one?

purchase them here and be sure to check out their flickr stream too!

    What a great concept! Hey, did you know that we have as many neurons in our digestive tract as we do in our spinal column? Hmmm….I KNEW there was something to the whole “trust your gut instincts” advice 🙂

    Many things, but actually that is a quote from Michael Pollan’s book, so it actually mixes the two (food and science). 😉
