Erased words
February 7, 2012 § Leave a comment
Just erase: words, commas, sentences to reveal the true emotion and find poetry. Newspaper Blackout, a Tumblr blog of Austin-based artist and writer Austin Kleon (included in TIME magazine’s list of the 30 Must-See Tumblr Blogs) creates”blackout poetry” just by blacking out unwanted text with a permanent marker and revealing new and shorter versions of poetic expression.

Book club for design nerds
August 31, 2011 § 1 Comment
What do designers do after they read a book? Do they discuss about it as regular bibliophiles? Do they write fun fiction as regular nerds? Nope, they each create a book cover and post it on the book cover club, for your enjoyment:

365 six word stories
May 17, 2011 § 1 Comment
“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
According to urban myth that is the reply Ernest Hemingway gave when he was challenged to write a story in just six words.
In 2010 two creatives, Van Horgen, writer, and Anne Ulku, designer, felt up to the challenged. They launched six word story everyday blog and did exactly that: they posted one six word story for every single day of the year.
Once 2010 came to an end, they opened up the project to everybody on sixwordstoryeveryday.com.
Admittedly, these are great story openers rather than stories in themselves, but very interesting, still.

London tube sticker commentary
May 11, 2011 § Leave a comment
Whatever you call it, subway, tube or metro, you can’t deny that long comuting trips can get pretty boring. And if you are anything like me, you end up counting stops by checking the map obsessively. Well, if you’re riding the central line in London you’re in for a surprise. Witty remarks have replaced some of the stations. And, of course, there is a tumblr about it: stickers on the central line.
