Project Passion

The Project Passion exhibition series showcases the self-initiated work of graphic designers. The next show, to be juried by Erik Brandt (Minneapolis), Mary Kate McDevitt (Philadelphia), and Jeremy Mickel (Los Angeles), will feature typographic pursuits. Letters, numbers, and symbols—the building blocks that make up our visual language system—are finite and yet infinite in their application. So within this creative space of both limitations and immeasurable possibilities, how are designers pushing their own creative use of letterforms and function? Without the constraints of clients' needs, where are their typographic explorations leading? These are the questions that form this year's Project Passion discourse that we, in turn, will project back out to the design community. Designers from all over the US and beyond are welcome to submit their self-initiated, type-based work for consideration in this exhibition.

Submit your work before November 15 here.

#100in1day

 

This past weekend, Ligatures was invited to participate in #100in1day. From their website:

What if hundreds of people united, each taking one small action to improve their city, all on the same day? 100In1Day is a global festival of civic engagement returning to Toronto for its second year on June 6, 2015. Imagine the possibilities for our city if hundreds of people united to participate in small initiatives to spark change. Share your vision for a better city.

We gathered in Forest Hill Village neighbourhood bright and early on Saturday morning to help Suzanne Long revitalize Bilton Laneway & community garden. Along with doing a bit of cleaning & weeding, Kyle & Christopher created a few hand-painted signs for the exciting new space. Check out some photos below.

  

Thanks Suzanne for this great opportunity! We look forward to helping out more this summer!
