Marta Ibarrondo
Marta has a way with words. One example would be in the About section of her website where she says “The only thing stronger than my accent are my opinions”. The best example would be her blog, theawfulttruthblog. Currently a Creative Director, Marta Ibarrondo has a firm grasp on the clever combination of wit and humour that keeps you reading on and wanting more.
This is an emergency
There are times when people say very stupid things. In these moments of utter daftness, us folk that are subjected to said daftness need some kind of a retort. I bring you, Emergency Compliments. Listing an array of compliments that are random and downright hilarious, it’s a clever idea that keeps you clicking for more. My favourite part are the links at the bottom that read “Thanks!I feel better” which leads to a print of the compliment and “I still feel crappy” which takes you to more compliments.
Mikko Kuorinki
Based in Helsinki, Mikko Kuorinki has simply gathered quotes from philosophers, authors and poets and created a series of inspiration with 200 letters. I really like that instead of photographs of paintings, words can also be seen today as a work of art all on their own.
Acorn & Whale Prints
These prints by Acorn & Whale are the perfect accompaniment to any home depending on the personality of the person living there. I like that the props really compliment the message too.
It seems fitting for a Friday post to end the week with. Happy weekend everyone.
Light Installations in the Forest
Korea based photographer Lee Jung created this gorgeous series of beautifully worded light installations. Imagine coming across these neon messages while taking a walk in the forest!
A Beautiful Revolution
Andre Jordan’s work is both adorable and witty. His array of artistic illustrations and written words are simple and touching all at once. And sometimes downright hilarious.
The Story Behind Keep Calm & Carry On
Unless you’ve been living under a very large rock, you would have seen at least one of the many “Keep Calm & Carry On” posters that have been altered and adapted from the original. But where is the original and how did this phenomenon come about? This message that everyone has in their rooms, offices and bookstores around the world is so relatable and I think that’s the reason it has become what it is today.
This is the story behind the famous red poster.
Journalism Warning Labels
Tom Scott is the voice behind the “Journalism Warning Labels” that have been stuck on free papers that he finds on the London Subway. Bold messages spread guerilla style. Very intriguing.
