Uniqueness is evolving. Humans in all their uniqueness are a result of a long evolutionary process.

In his Psychology and the Soul, Otto Rank recognized the desire for immortality through self expression of lasting impact, whether through the creativity of the artist or the reforming efforts of the hero.

One of the most outstanding proclamations of Otto Rank was his absolute belief in the uniqueness of every human being. The most quoted statement of his says it precisely: "Will people ever learn... that there is no other equality possible than the equal right of every individual to become and be himself, which actually means to accept his own difference and have it accepted by others."

Above are some statements that I have found in my research and are at this point guiding me. I am interested in what makes us unique and what we do to feel that we are. I would like to make a series of poster showcasing the idea of human uniqueness and why we feel we need to be. I want to make the posters unique as well so I am thinking of hand lettering the text and painting them in gouache. This would be on top of computer designed vectors and or photos.

labels

Dear seniors, please use the following "labels" that you see at the lower right bottom of the text box when you create a new post and write in one of the following options:

degree project
timeline
mindmap
redo projects
resume

You can also create new labels (or sometimes referred to as tags) of your own names, so that if I want to see all the work of Jessica, (for example) I can click on the label Jessica. (James already started a label so refer to that as well!)

Thank you!
