Urban Play 2008 Sagmeister Inc.

Look at this, look at this. It's amazing! Sagmeister is so frigging cool. He got 100 people to sort out 250,000 Eurocents into 4 different shades of coin, then made a frigging huge mural. Check the video and the account of what happened over the 8 days here. As I always say, I love it when things are made the hard way, they are so much more rewarding! People might read this and think, "well why are you in web design?" To which I would say, look at this. A hell of a lot of effort has gone into making the elasticmind site. And I personally think it's an amazingly rewarding experience that I'd go back again and again to. Kinda like when tokyoplastic fitst came out.. I remember all of uni were loving it.

I love it when things are made the hard way! Rather than creating this image using Photoshop Ian Wright has actually ripped up newspapers, bills, envelopes, posters and anything else he could find of the correct shade, to create this amazing image. Anything like this always reminds me of the coffee cup poster by Sagmeister for the Adobe Design Achievement Awards! I loved that then and I still love it now. 2500 cups filled with different depths of coffee to create a range of brown tones then aranged into an award. Awesome idea!
