Project HERE celebrates locality and that makes ever so much sense when energy prices threaten to remove all the bloom from the easy love affair we Americans enjoy with our automobiles. We need to stay local, buy local, grow local. We need to get more self sufficient. All those ideas from the Seventies are current again. Thus, the need for Project HERE.
Tyler Young has been promoting the concept all over the place. Tyler asked me to design a poster of the Webster family, using a stunning sepia tone image taken by local photographer, Jude Mooney. I used the photo in its entirety for the central image, while making a background collage of Jude’s landscape, by adding antique clouds along with an ornate, gothic pattern. The quote is an excerpt from an interview that Bay Area writer Jeff Troiano collected , so it really is a regional, hybridized project. Look for more information and links to these project participants HERE.
I like the dreaminess the clouds and script typeface add to the poster, the slightly out of sync quality, as though you have stepped into another dimension.
