consider listening

size: 60×80 cm / 24×32″

The consider listening poster is more than a piece of wall art. It is a gentle reminder that one of the greatest gifts we can give another person is our attention. In a world where everyone seems to be talking, posting, commenting, and reacting, truly listening has become surprisingly rare. This typography poster encourages us to slow down, be present, and hear what others are trying to say. The design carries a powerful message through carefully chosen words. Repeated throughout the background is the sentence: “I would like to tell you something, but I find it quite scary to do so.”

The line appears again and again, almost disappearing into the design while remaining impossible to ignore. It represents the silent thoughts many people carry every day. Behind every smile, every quiet moment, or every hesitant conversation, there may be someone gathering the courage to speak. Sometimes all they need is someone willing to listen.

the consider listening poster is an invitation to create that space

Listening is often underestimated. We celebrate great speakers, inspiring leaders, and persuasive storytellers, but genuine listeners can have an equally profound impact. Real listening builds trust, strengthens friendships, improves relationships, and creates understanding between people from different backgrounds. Whether at home, at work, or among friends, listening with empathy can change the direction of a conversation—and sometimes even a life.

Designer Bink Schippers created this poster as a visual appeal for kindness and compassion. The minimalist typography allows the message to take centre stage. Rather than shouting for attention, it quietly encourages reflection. The repeated background text reinforces the emotional weight of the message, reminding us that many people struggle to express what they truly feel.

This modern typography print fits beautifully into a living room, office, hallway, meeting room, classroom, or creative workspace. It works equally well as contemporary wall art and as a daily reminder of the importance of empathy, patience, and meaningful communication. Its clean, timeless design complements both modern and minimalist interiors while inviting conversation among those who see it.

sometimes the most important message is not the loudest one

The consider listening poster also makes a thoughtful gift for teachers, counsellors, coaches, healthcare professionals, managers, or anyone who values honest communication. It is a meaningful present for people who believe that understanding begins not with speaking, but with listening. Sometimes the most important message is not the loudest one. Sometimes it is quietly waiting for someone to hear it.

Hang the consider listening poster where conversations happen and let it remind everyone who passes by that every voice deserves to be heard. Because behind every untold story may be someone hoping that another person will simply stop, care, and… consider listening.
