The hardest part of departing from this place,
is to not know have I been there before
& at the same time experiencing its soil
my footprints proves it true.
Simpler than these of chipping down a mountain
with no more than a silver coin how should I proceed?
to behold unable to withhold,
such passion unwilling to be mentioned,
may it be now let our hearts not doubt.
Ah, let the good men prove me wrong!
Such a season given to unreasoned fluctuant competence,
be vigilant for the demeanor of youth;
tenderly insulted by imponderable descrepance
I will heed for my Lord sent before I could spend,
the lot in heaps amiss
Father knows best for our increase;
If ever He wills I'll be here again,
stronger & higher than I have been.
But have I been there? Have I seen?
The beauty of lillies how shall they compare?
A thousand garlands can't withstand a share
certainly the Maker foremost thought of you so fair
replicating your beauty to the gardens in every square.
The beauty of lillies how shall they withstand?
A thousand garlands is still beyond compare.
How wonderful my Savior has drawn out & planned,
that two ends should meet completing a whole.
No, no, no, must not be broken ends;
but completed, harmonizing a single whole.
Such mysteries Solomon & his beloved did foretold.
Yet the hardest part still plagues me adazed;
how will I ever leave this place?
The Hardest Part

SF posters
Author: matthew /Here are a few of my work that I've recently submitted for my typography assessment to date. I've taken switchfoot albums as my main theme & these posters act as mock promotional posters for their album releases. So don't sue me for false information in the posters...Enjoy(I'm not sure why all my pics are downsized once uploaded here so I'm sorry but you might not be able to view the fullness of it in detail) 
This piece is actually a revamp of the original "Oh! Gravity" artwork of illustrated impressions of the band members. I've colored them in with pretty colors & of course added in typography in their hairs or else my lecturer might get a heart attack haha...Their names & some of my favorite track titles. The word "switchfoot" is actually in scribbled form..
The initial color I tested with. Apparently gives a wrong bright candy sour feel. So I changed it for the former.
Adapted from the album "New Way To Be Human". Tried to capture the similar feel & use of method as of the original album artwork (bottom right corner or the poster, a fingerprint) Using flat dull colors thus leaving plenty of space for the word play. Those words are the tracks titles in the album. The typeface (font) is just like the HP commercial right? I think its the same one.
For this very piece I've borrowed the tree from Jon Foreman's EP albums & of course added in my own elements. You see the bird on the tip of the branch? Symbolic as a sign of hope on a withered tree. I actually attempted to give a wood grain effect to the background but it looks like a marker felt scribble without borders.
