Great and powerful design indeed, yet the definition is not tight enough imo. Like, right now I'm thinking about drinking another coffee (besides thinking about what I'm writing here), how is that design made visual? :D Some restrictions would do well. (Or is it just too early for me to grasp this definition clearly? Perhaps. That's why I need another coffee.)

w.i.n,

That's a fair point. I thought about making the poster reflect the quote in a direct way, but it felt cliché to put in a lightbulb or something like that to show the thinking/idea part, plus I've done a Saul Bass-inspired poster in the past that actually had a lightbulb in it, so I didn't want to rethread myself. Instead I just made a poster to highlight a quote I like, in my own style.

beatiful implementation, but lacks a connection between the concept and graphics.. and the type could be arranged better for reading.
