From Guerrilla Typography designer Cardon Webb is tarting up the neighbourhood:
“Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.”

Walking Paper - fascinating use of colour, design, play…a setting that is library, restaurant, civic centre/gym.

He writes: “Jennifer Caleshu, Director of Communications of the fantastic Bay Area Discovery Museum, sends this terrific example of emotionally intelligent signage from the trash cans at the new California Academy of Sciences. “What do you think? too crytic? Ingenious?

Amy Krouse Rosenthal children’s book author has “beckoned the lovely” in a 2008 invitation on Youtube for others to join her in a collaborative “making of things”, a continuing story found here in a series of video clips.
