Description
STOP TO START°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Quite self-explanatory, I think...
FULL VIEW IS A MUST!
Idea + all the textures (photos) by me. No stock (as usual)
Font: Futura Tee family - available for free: [link]
EDIT: Damn! A DD???
Now this came completely unexpected! In fact, I was going to remake it as I'm not really satisfied with it myself! 
I mean, I did put a lot of effort in the arrangement of the words (and I like this part of it) but I absolutely agree that the textures don't fit together perfectly... I tried to submit it to #typoholics and it got rejected! And you know what? I didn't feel mad about it at all as I understand there's a lot of space for improvement. `pica-ae (the #typoholics moderator) was kind enough to give me some very indepth and fair critique on it and I agree with him in most points... You can find it here if you're interested: [link] Anyway, I would be lying if I'd tell I'm not happy about the DD
So, thank you very much, `hazelnutx , for featuring it! 
And thank you guys for every single comment and/or fave - I do appreciate it Even though I have many works I'd love to see as a DD so much more... Still thanks 
At least I'm glad that I'm able to spread the message to so many people...

No prob. I read the typoholics critique and I cant say I agree all the way. I think you'll get different views on this. I just got done with my second typography class which is working on hierarchy, so I had no problem understanding what it said the first time through (but I can also read most graffiti with little struggle, so that might be a personal factor). Id have to agree it does feel a little flat. Have you tried a version where your font says the word, then compared the two? I still love it though, despite a few flaws. But I didn't think you were a beginner. I've seen beginner work, and you're pretty good for a beginner then lol.

Aww, I really want to...
Thing is, my dreams are impossible. Oh well; sometimes that's what makes things so appealing; not being able to have them.

NOTHING is impossible when you aim all your will and actions towards it
Anyway, thanks for the comment

"Stop dreaming about livin'. Start livin' your dreams".
I'm not gonna lie, I couldn't see the entire quote until I read pica-ae's critique to it. :/
That whole "livin'" is used twice didn't connect with me.

I have really poor spacial sense, so it took me a little while to figure this out, but when I finally got it, I realized how great it was. Totally deserves the DD

This is really cool! I think that it flows together very nicely. A well deserved DD!

Amazing concept and that's some sound advice ^__^ Congrats on the DD!

I actually think these textures add an element to the picture. Things that don't fit in perfectly can still join and make a difference.

I LOVE THIS STATEMENT
its really inspirational

Thank you! Inspiration is what I was aiming for with this work so I'm glad to hear it actually works 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course it works!
And trust me, its more original than youd think. The way that you composed the words is really unique, and the style of the colouring and stuff is different, which i love.
And it is a great message to relay to people. After a while i think we all get sick of the negative stuff people put out there, so to hear something like this is a really nice, positive change
