History of Human Race in one sentence

I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating[1] a smaller boy. I expostulated[2], but he replied: “The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that’s fair.” In these words he epitomized[3] the history of the human race.

– Bertrand Russell, “Education and the Social Order


[1] ill-treating: Act cruelly towards someone.
[2] Expostulate: Express strong disapproval or disagreement.
[3] Epitomized: Summarized, Provided a perfect example of.

IF Women Ruled the World…

IF Women Ruled the World…
There would be No Wars
Just a bunch of jealous countries not talking to each other.

As funny as it seems, but it’s really a witty one-liner, especially the term “Not talking to each other“. Almost everyone has some memories related to “Not talking to each other” in their relationships and that makes it more interesting. Although, realistically speaking, this trait is common in both males and females, so women are not the one to be blamed…

More Free Alphabet Styles to decorate your Facebook profile

Create an impact when someone visits your Facebook profile… Whether it’s your name, some greetings, or simply some word to describe you, it looks great. It’s so easy to do it in New Facebook Profile. You need to tag that word [up to 5 characters only] in a Facebook photo-album that contains those letters.

Below are the links of 3 Facebook Albums with different text styles. Use the one that suits your mood…

Instructions:

  • Visit the Facebook album of your choice from the list above. Tag your word in reverse over. e.g. If you want to show “HELLO”, you should tag words in this order: O, L, L, E, H.
  • Since a single photo cannot be tagged twice, each character is present twice in the album, so you can use double letters too.
  • If you’re tagged in some other photo and see your word disturbed, you don’t necessarily need to untag yourself in new photo. To remove a tile, just move your mouse over the unwanted photo in your profile thumbnail images, and a cross [x] will appear. Use it to remove the newly tagged photo.

A “Gooner” Tee that I designed and painted

I wanted to present a Tee to my friend on his birthday, and since he’s more into Soccer supporting Arsenal-The Gunners, I thought I should make some design related to that. I selected the word “Gooner” for my design. Just in case you don’t know, the supporters and fans of Arsenal Football Club are called “Gooner“.

This is the initial Photoshop version of the design:

Here’s the finished painted Tee:

And the print from another angle to show details:

I used white fabric-paint to paint this, and the real Copper powder is then sprinkled over it when it was wet, making those metal particles to stick and giving a grungy textured look.

Give Peace a Chance: A small tribute to John Lennon on his 70th birthday

“You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.”

He never got tired raising his voice for Peace. He wanted everyone to live together as one, he wanted governments to stop imposing wars on other countries, for any reason, but he was shot…

He was the great John Lennon

He was a star being a member of The Beatles, and he became an even brighter star as a solo artist.

“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.”

Below are few Peace and Revolution related graphics I designed, inspired obviously by Lennon’s work. [Click each image to enlarge]

This is Peace4 PiecesRevolution RocksRevolution Rocks

“If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there’d be peace.”

Just to let you know that we love you John, and your message of love & Peace will stay forever…

Happy 70th Birthday John…!!!

And Yoko Ono, We love you too… You’re so sweet…

I Heart Pakistan ♥

Here is my version of the famous rebus “I NY” logo designed by Milton Glaser back in 1970s. I tried to give it a Pakistani Feel, by using the Flag green color for Heart and Using PK initials for Pakistan. It says “I PK“, “I Heart Pakistan“, or simply “I Love Pakistan
