Hi world, I'm Lingyun, from the little red dot of sunshine (& rain)!
"I've loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." - Galileo Galilei, is a quote which never fails to inspire me. It is a battle hymn, crying - to defy the odds with passion.
On another level, it is also, to me, the acceptance of both the positives and the negatives. In my eyes, what's precious is what is genuine. & I firmly believe, that good and bad, strengths and flaws, they need to coexist, to form something that is real. For me that far supersedes fantastical perfection. Because it is genuine, with no facades. It is something I can trust in.
So we shouldn't be afraid, to face our flaws, or the imperfections we all possess. Because then, at least we can proclaim with confidence, we are real. With no facades.

In.My.Veins: Things Happy People Know
Happy people know that everything is fleeting. They know that the struggles they face will pass, but at the same time, they also know that the great things that are in their lives will pass as well. Happy people live in the moment.
Happy people don’t call themselves “happy people” or think of…

Morning is my favorite time of day. It’s like everything’s starting out fresh and new. I begin to get sad around noontime, and I hate it when the sun goes down. I live with those same feelings day after day.via durianquotes➜

Dowling Duncan and redesigning the American Dollar:
Why the size?
We have kept the width the same as the existing dollars. However we have changed the size of the note so that the one dollar is shorter and the 100 dollar is the longest. When stacked on top of each other it is easy to see how much money you have. It also makes it easier for the visually impaired to distinguish between notes.Why a vertical format?
When we researched how notes are used we realized people tend to handle and deal with money vertically rather than horizontally. You tend to hold a wallet or purse vertically when searching for notes. The majority of people hand over notes vertically when making purchases. All machines accept notes vertically. Therefore a vertical note makes more sense.Why different colors?
It’s one of the strongest ways graphically to distinguish one note from another.Why these designs?
We wanted a concept behind the imagery so that the image directly relates to the value of each note. We also wanted the notes to be educational, not only for those living in America but visitors as well. Each note uses a black and white image depicting a particular aspect of American history and culture. They are then overprinted with informational graphics or a pattern relating to that particular image.$1 – The first African American president
$5 – The five biggest native American tribes
$10 – The bill of rights, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution
$20 – 20th Century America
$50 – The 50 States of America
$100 – The first 100 days of President Franklin Roosevelt. During this time he led the congress to pass more important legislations than most presidents pass in their entire term. This helped fight the economic crises at the time of the great depression. Ever since, every new president has been judged on how well they have done during the first 100 days of their term.america are you really doing this and if so i suggest using comic sans for like everything
