This music video I would probably rank among my favourites, for its' incredibly creative storyline. From their 1996 album The Bends.

This was borne of my frustration with my grad school bus, as well as my constantly forgetting my ID and being refused entry to the bus. The settings (my room, hallway, street, bus) were all copied (badly) from real life.

As a university student, I switched from classic note taking to comic note taking, and I found I learned alot better. I do these in real time, and have to manage spacing/layout issues and which images I will use. I usually work with a one-lecture-one-page format strictly. It challenges me and I enjoy it. These were a series of notes, each page a session, from a workshop last year on campus which I happened to attend. ]]> 2017-08-09 23:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180540113 mshaltout https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180542091 The man who kickstarted my passion for comics and my dream of drawing comics. Georges Remi, aka Herge, created the loved comic character Tintin and in his 23 volumes, narrated the twentieth century in a very creative (and sometimes prophetic) way. His book 'Explorers on the Moon' predicted the moon landing 16 years later. ]]> 2017-08-09 23:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180542091 mshaltout https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180542946 I strongly believe this should be implemented in Egypt to actually get people to use pedestrian bridges. ]]> 2017-08-09 23:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180542946 mshaltout https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180550370 Nothing attracts like a powerful magazine cover that so succinctly captures a story or article. ]]> 2017-08-10 01:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180550370 mshaltout https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180550986 Been a long time waiting. ]]> 2017-08-10 01:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180550986 mshaltout https://padlet.com/mshaltout/jksyfieuh92/wish/180551483 Some of these are just brilliant.
