A Gift to MTA Riders
Newsstand Postcard
Print, Campaign
Supervised by Stefan Sagmeister, this project was to design a sentence I had learned in life and made it go public.
I first heard the sentence “A city is as open as your mouth is“ at the Big Apple Church in NYC (The Trader Joe’s cashier whom I touched heart from a previous project invited me to this church). The person who said it learned the sentence from his experience on the subway, so I intended to refer my design back to NYC subway, and that’s why I decided to adopt the mosaic tile style.
I printed out my design on 100 postcards and sent them out to newsstands at different MTA stations where people stop by can take them for free. I hope the design could encourage people to initiate conversations with each other because communication has the power to open and widen our world. ︎
