Words

Meanings and signifiers intertwine in a world of continuous overlaying. We have a tongue to speak and to kiss, to return stories that change the existence of each of us. Coexist means maybe continue to weave, word after word, this wicker basket that contains us all.

Humans walk together

These are 3 shape variation around lines and oval in an anthropomorphic cartoon way. Each one can be read as an abstract and evocative logo.
1/ “Human hashtag”
The hashtag is an interesting glyph: a real symbol of digital society, but also a crossed shape. I see it as a symbol of together life.

2/ “Together music”
A music note, which could be extended by togetherness power.

3/ “Walk on the care side”
At first, it was an enoki’s shape (japanese mushroom ), and that made me think about parents and child, or strong with weak, protection feeling.

Democratize Creativity

The world cannot be divided into creative and uncreative people. This is a fallacy that is being spread by a self-proclaimed “elite” who cling to a long outdated cult of genius. And “Democratize Creativity” proves it right away.

The copywriter Denisse Ariana Pérez, who works at the Swedish design agency Essen International, pleads for the democratisation of creativity. She clearly rejects all those who see creativity as the privilege of a few. As an expert in the so-called creative business, she provides practical instructions on how each individual can express his or her creative energy.

“Democratize Creativity” is a manifesto against boring straight forward thinkers, stubborn pragmatists and eternal chicken orderers, against yes-men, misfits and all-rounders.

Tic Tac Coexist

A simple play of the classic paper-and-pencil game ‹Tic Tac Toe› where the original 3×3 grid is expanded to 7×7 grid to match the amount of letters in the word ‹COEXIST›. The typography is set using an all-caps custom monospaced typeface, with varying thickness of the ‹O› and ‹X› characters to represent the pluralism in societies. The poster’s layout is deliberately made readable upside-down to represent the multiple point of views from each diverse entities within the closely-knit grid. XOXO.

1st: Ban public smoking (cars). 2nd: Ban public smoking (factories).

In order to ‘live or exist together’ our planet is vital. These 2 posters respond to the too late ‘climate change’ world-wide problem… In many countries around the world, it is illegal to smoke indoors in public places like cafés, pubs, galleries and restaurants. More and more countries are doing this, and our posters take the initiative of keeping the health of the public as good as it can be, a step further. The largest smokers are cars, aeroplanes and factories, but they are still legal everywhere. Why are they allowed to smoke (pollute) when the public cannot?
