UHC - Local & Global

I've looked at UHC many times before on my blog so there's no introduction necessary. I have been looking at their Art projects recently and their community led briefs. Today I've just sent an email to Sara from UHC (who I met up with last summer) to ask for a quote about these events and why they do them etc.

Here's some bits and bobs from their site, some info on what they do and a few pictures of their recent project ExtInked, aiming to raise awareness of extinct animals and the problem at hand. Some brilliant work, check out their website for more.

Improv Everywhere

I recently heard about these group in New York which organise large events that bring together volunteers to perform unusual scenarios. The scenarios usually include surprising the general public in a positive way and brightening up their day.

These guys are in a league of their own but there are many other groups all over that organise community events similar to this bringing together total strangers and reclaiming a communal space. I have recently heard of one in Leeds called Leeds Urban Playgound.

CardonCopy

This work from Cardon Copy is simply genius, funny subjects, interesting varied approaches to typographic styles, colour models and print quality. I have been choosing to design a lot of posters at the minute and these are all quite interesting for one reason or another. Google Cardon Copy and your away.
