Random Project 2012
I heard about the Random Project via Creative Review a couple of weeks ago.
Organiser Sarah Hyndman: ”The Random Project 2012 showcases a growing collection of postcards which are created by everybody. These celebrate the spirit of London 2012 and enable us to visually document the shared cultural experience as the year unfolds – we will all become the artists-in-residence for a historic year.“
To be honest, I don’t live in London and I’m not a fan of the Olympics, but I liked the idea of designing a postcard to a given random word (great project for design students). I (no longer a design student) was assigned the word cockney, not immediately inspiring, but after a little lateral thinking, I made this.
A couple of things I particularly like about this project: a. you CAN’T design it on the computer b. anyone can take part. So, hand-made AND democratic.
All you have to do is email a number between to 1 and 100 to word@random-project.co.uk. In return you’re assigned a random word and sent full details about the project. For more info and to visit the online gallery, visit Random Project 2012.

New logo for The Short Review
Well, here it is: my new design for the The Short Review logo.
The Short Review celebrated its 2nd birthday today with the publication of the November issue: short story news, reviews and author interviews.
