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...

The "Livin'" instead of "Living" is distracting, I think. You'd be better served by replacing the former with the latter.
It's otherwise pretty cool.

Well, I originally tried to keep the entire word, but I felt like it's spoiling the layout (I didn't like what the bottom part of the letter "g" looked like). Thanks for the feedback!

I can see how it'd spoil the layout, I think.
I suppose there's evidence that it works well enough this way, so I can't really complain.

I really like the typography a lot, however, I feel that the use of the textures though makes it much too busy. I feel that it would be stronger just with the typography with a solid color scheme and possibly a texture to go over the entire piece. This is just me though, I feel that I'm very paticular with designs and artwork such as this.
Either way, it's a great layout as well as quote, nicely done.

It's not just you - actually it's (not only) me either
Anyway, thanks a lot your praise and feedback

Haha, that's my bad for skimming the comment section XD
You are more than welcome.

Positive, but pretty generic meaning (thought most of these typographs are trying to hard to be serious).
Great execution on the bright side.

We have one more points on that bright side, then.

I love the arrangement of the words and the message it portrays! Congrats on the DD

I love the concept and the layout. I'm not crazy about the textures, I think it gets a little bit cluttered. Either way, great work. The concept is the important part anyways.

I couldn't agree more with you

Anytime. Don't be too hard on your work. Obviously somebody thought it was pretty good. Otherwise it wouldn't be a DD right?

Well, to be honest I've seen too much stuff that I consider kitschy/stupid/ugly/pointless/crude being featured as a DD so I don't really consider it a quality meter any more and I definitely don't feel like a big artist now that I've got my second DD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well at least you aren't getting a big head about this. It's your second? Congratulations! I wish I could get one! A little publicity never hurt.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, I got [link] featured back then (I shamelessly suggested it myself
Life (and dA) is strange. Definitely not bad, just strange...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I definitely think that piece is worth a DD. The blending you did is fantastic. And yes life is always strange. Sadly, the idea is that if they showcase one piece, users might see your others. That rarely happens though, as you well know.

True, true

message is very true, typography itself isn't to special.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the feedback. Anyway, I like it this way - at least the typography part (text layout) - what I'm not really sure are the textures (actually I was gonna change them...

Well, I think they are pretty good, if you ask me...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they don't really fit together - I was a bit in a rush while making this piece and I just got eager to upload it when I got to this point as I needed to get back to finishing some other (more important but more boring) work I was doing at the moment so I uploaded it to stop myself working on it even though I had felt it was not exactly what I was aiming for...
Still, it's nice to know so many people like it even like this

Well, I'm pretty sure that the refined version will be appreciated as much as this one.

What did you use to make this ... what program?
