Hi the MLE,

Thanks for the link, and it is true that this is something I could see us doing. How graphic design changes with time is something that we have always been interested in, and we have done quite a few experiments around this.

Here Sagmeister has made a wall of 10 000 green and yellow bananas, to see how the wall changes over time. What surprises me as well, is how perfectly all the bananas fit together, it must have been a challenge to pick out 10 000 that are all the same size.
 
I'm sure we will speak before, but have a nice Christmas! Hope there is snow over there in Stockholm.

Hello my friend MLE!

As you know, I posted on our Facebook page about the Chelsea Degree Show, which I went to a couple weeks ago.  Well, I said it was so good I would post about it again, so here we are. I love going to Degree Shows (or "Grad Shows" as we call them in Canada). Maybe it is because we had so much fun with our HUGE grad project that it brings back happy memories... :)

This time I will show you our brilliant intern Josiah Jones' project. First, check out the catalogue cover. It's designed so that the student handing it out can highlight their name - nice concept right?

Josiah's project, called "Food for your thoughts," explores food as a social urge and also cleverly initiates relationships within the design industry. Josiah sent out a placemat invitation to London designers asking them if he could buy them their favourite lunch in return for some discussion.  He then created beautiful modular lunch trays with each designer's food choice, which look too pretty to eat in my opinion.  You can see mine above: "soup with grated cheese."  Compare that to Liv at It's Nice That: "A bunch of stuff all over a table including an amazing cheeseboard, some Italian cold meats and really good salty butter. And cornichons and some homemade chutney. And some amazing bread."
