This poster was hand-crafted.
It reads: " OFFF Show us your type Barcelona 2013"
This poster was made in collaboration with Elise Luttik for "Show us your type" Exhibition in OFFF Barcelona 2013 and aims to create awareness and celebrate the relevance of this beautiful type which is a essential way of communication for those speakless people.
SHOW US YOUR TYPE is a project about type and cities, which provides a creative platform for designers to share their talents and explore cities from a different perspective.
A very inspiring talk by a good friend named Ivan Cash.
Here 2 of his learnings:
- Doing is everything. If I execute the ideas I'm excited about, failure is impossible.
- We as humans have a universal desire to create, collaborate and be a part of something meaningful.
Enjoy his personal projects:
It's that time of the year. A time for reflection.
Awards or Rewards, what matters most?
Awards are made of heavy, shiny metals.
Rewards are made of uplifting feelings.
Awards come from shortlists.
Rewards come from wishlists.
Awards call us to a stage, in front of an industry audience.
Rewards bring us back to reality, in front of an authentic audience.
Awards help business.
Rewards help society.
Awards make us famous.
Rewards make us human.
Awards foster competition.
Rewards create good karma.
While awards are granted, rewards are ours to seize. Let’s get out there and make something meaningful. The universe would appreciate it, and so will our soul.
