As you can imagine, I am very busy getting the launch issue of UPPERCASE magazine ready, not to mention a new show opening this Thursday! So for the day’s type tuesday fix, I will direct you over to I Love Typography. I was thrilled to see their mention of our magazine on their fine pages.
Speaking of the magazine and pages, we have so much great content that I am increasing its page count!
Reverse Graffiti is a new marketing trend implemented by companies such as IBM, GreenWorks, and now, SEPTA. In partnership with the esteemed Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia, Philly’s grimiest sidewalks will be put to good use with this new effort as part of SEPTA’s new “Go Green” campaign.
As seen above, this reverse graffiti technique literally powerwashes dirt off of the sidewalks and walls while leaving an imprint of a SEPTA Green message and a corresponding Green design. For more on SEPTA’s “Go Green” campaign, you know the routine.
To get informed on matters of Reverse Graffiti and its origin, check this out.
Massive shout out to Visual Culturist Chris Gato for the goods.

And my Canadian favourite and illustrator of the Work/Life cover, Darren Booth. (Buy the book here!) Apparently Work/Life is in the current HOW annual, but I have not seen it yet. It is also supposed to get a mention in the resources section of the March issue of Communication Arts.
