I cannot believe I had just discovered Delicious Design League. These posters are amazingly edgy, however they work perfectlly well. From Sonic Youth to Animal Collective, Delicious Design had been there, screen-printed them all themselves. Wooooooow! I'm going to work better on the posters tonight..

Give and take..

"The Home Duvet lets you sleep under a cardboard box so a homeless person doesn't have to!"

Great project, as "30% of the gross profits go to Centrepoint, the UK charity for homeless young people aged 16-25 (charity number 292411)" and the printing has been done really well!

I think this is magnificent! http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2009/06/29/repestect-yourself/

i spilled the ink across the page, trying to spell your name..

ok, so I decided that the last post wasn't very good, so I scanned the postcards, and they look more like the original. These postcards are going to be left in the cafes, and some of them will be handed out on the streets, and some as a post to people's homes. When I get a response, I want to ask the person if the postcard provoked any emotions, as well as them joining the interview with the postcards. I am very excited about this, as I didn't want to hand in something grey, and instead of that, because I am focusing on the individual as they are, so I thought about making the postcards different to each of them, and I am curious of what characters are going to choose which ones.

Post Secret.

Rather than just visiual research, I am interested in these projects that deal with people in general. This project that I came across is called "Post Secret." I came across this project about 3 months ago. I found the book about the project, thats how I got to know more about the project. I will post some of the secrets, later on. It is very interesting indeed. What is interesting for me is, that people post these secrets, but they really put their effort in the visualisation. Not all of the people are artist, but the visuals are very outstanding, although they may be collages, it really looks like they put so much effort in the project, and they feel passionate about their secret. I guess it kind of has this effect that when you post, or write down your secrets, burn them or send them away, that they will dissappear somehow. Very interesting.

Meet Hannah,

I met Hannah the other day. She saw my add in Old Street in a club. She was a very insperational girl, her object was a red ball. Her insperation for the red ball is from the book "Naive Super." I will read the book, and find out more things from the character that she liked so much. Hannah mostly carries her object with her when she feels stresfull, and the object lets her know that everything will be alright.

Yesterday's Sandwich by Boris Mikhailov..

I went to Foyles (the bookstore) thinking I could research on my project a bit more, I found this book yesterday's sandwich. I thought the book was fantastic, not only with the photographs, but also how the artist played on them, and made it very individual (possibly to the character that he took the pictures of, and the mood really comes out with the colors.) beautiful!
