The Shirt Project

Take Note of Who’s Taking Note

Monday Nov 05 2007

As a part of documenting The Shirt Project, Rich and I will be compiling lists of sites around the web that have covered us. These weekly or bi-weekly updates will also acknowledge those who have found our project interesting and passed it on to others.

We made it to the front page of CSS Mania and Most Inspired a while ago. You can still find us within their archives.

After buying one of our latest shirts, Robin Sloan introduced us to Snark Market, Current, and Fimoculous.

We’d like to thank our awesome typography professor and type aficionado Hannes Famira for blogging about us on TypEdu.org.

Lastly, we are very pleased to have been observed by Jessica Helfand at Design Observer as “designers and artists hoping to change the world, one T-shirt… at a time.”

Thanks to everyone’s kind words and critical remarks. Rich and I always look forward to hearing them, so keep them coming!

Thanks for the heads up Petra! It’s been on our radar and will make it to the post on coverage.

one of the underlying concepts of this project is really very clever without being obvious. these t-shirts minimize the control that advertising has over public information. the person wearing the t-shirt, while appearing to support “the story”, in reality, are simply acting as sponsers without editorial control.

i pay you $75 and i’ll wear five t-shirts that promotes stories you choose while getting nothing in return except the public’s acknowledgment that i like the “idea” of news (and that i should probably lose 5 lbs.)

if you could apply this concept in the “real world” you could probably reduce advertising clutter by 50% allowing the public to either receive more “news” or more details of the news they’re interested in.

good luck. can’t wait to get mine.

note: i did post about “the shirt project” on my blog (within my site).
