Creatives share uplifting messages in New York billboard campaign

The state of New York has been deemed the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic – with nearly 225,000 cases and approaching 15,000 deaths so far, it’s the worst hit state in the US. In an eerie reflection of our times, the streets and tourist hot spots of New York City have been emptied, leaving a ghost town in its wake.

In light of the circumstances, a new billboard campaign has been launched as a gesture of solidarity with New Yorkers during the pandemic. The campaign is a collaborative effort between Times Square Arts, New York museum Poster House, Print Magazine and civic engagement platform For Freedoms.

The citywide PSA campaign features works by a whole host of prominent artists, designers and illustrators. Among those taking part are design veteran and creator of the ‘I Heart NY’ logo Milton Glaser, design aficionado Debbie Millman, illustrator Edel Rogriguez – best known for his satirical Trump creations – as well as Pentagram partners Emily Oberman and Paula Scher.

As with most PSAs, there is a clear typographic focus across many of the designs. Others reflect scenes of NYC life, such as those by Wes Anderson collaborator Jessica Hische and illustrator Klaas Verplancke, who each capture scenes of New Yorkers at their windows.

The tone of the messaging seen across the billboards varies among the designs, with several appealing to New Yorkers’ sense of resilience and strength of spirit.

Others are dedicated to championing the essential workers who are keeping New York running in these troubling times, with Rodriguez’s artwork elevating healthcare workers to superhero status.

Many of the designs take an advisory stance, using the space to remind people of social distancing guidelines in particular. However, as seen in Joe Hollier’s contribution, providing serious advice doesn’t always mean taking a serious approach, as he offers some helpful references to remember the six feet rule.

The designs will be showcased from today on nearly 1,800 digital billboards – including in Times Square – across all five boroughs of New York City, which were donated to the project.

The 18 Best Things to See and Do in Oslo

Image
Posted : 6/26/2020 | June 26th, 2020 Balancing natural beauty, historic architecture, and a modern flair, Oslo , Norway’s beautiful capital, is a city that punches well above its weight. It’s small but bursting with things to do: there are countless museums, spacious parks, and delicious restaurants to keep you busy. It’s close to numerous forests with hiking and biking trails, and there are lots of places to swim in the summer too. However, since it’s expensive, a lot of travelers pass Oslo by. While a visit will certainly eat into your budget, Oslo is definitely worth a couple of days. To help show precisely why you should add it to your itinerary, here are my favorite things to see and do in Oslo:   1. Take a Free Walking Tour I always start my trips off with a free walking tour. They’re a budget-friendly way to see the main sights, learn a little history, meet other travelers, and get access to an expert local guide who can answer all my questions. Free Tour Oslo organizes

Practical Action rebrands to show “how small actions can change the big picture”

Image
NB Studio has created a new identity for Practical Action, a UK development organisation. Practical Action was established in 1966 with the aim of creating appropriate technologies for developing regions of the world. It works primarily in Eastern and Southern Africa, South Asia and Latin America. It was founded by economist and philosopher Fritz Schumacher whose book, Small is Beautiful, champions the concept that small changes can empower people more than big ones. Practical Action’s aim is to provide sustainable technologies – systems that countries can accommodate with their existing resources – instead of providing large-scale aid that cannot be easily sustained. The charity was originally called Intermediate Technology Development Group but was changed to Practical Action in 2005. “Ingenuity People” Nick Finney, founder and creative director at NB Studio, says that the brand update aims to clarify the charity’s function. One of the problems with its previous names, Finne

The legacy of Life magazine’s images celebrated in new show

Image
When Life magazine was re-launched by magazine magnate Henry Luce in 1936, the idea was to put photojournalism at the forefront and publish only photography-led stories. Readers soon became accustomed to seeing images from around the world that gave them the kind of first-hand insight they’d never previously had. At one point it was selling 13.8 million copies a week, and in its lifetime the magazine commissioned more than 120,000 stories and 10 million photographs. Life was published up until 2000, and to celebrate the contributions the magazine made to documentary photography and photojournalism, Atlas Gallery in London is exhibiting a selection of some of the magazine’s most iconic and influential photographs.
