<The concrete and edgy urban environment forms a giant existantial womb, a little bit gloomy and miserable sometimes, but also protective and soft as if mutherly provided.>
This is my entry for the "New Creators" competition that was thrown by the greek free-press Athens Voice, part of the anual graphic designers' competition Ε.Β.Γ.Ε. 2007. They requested a cover design for the particular newspaper with the theme "The City". The winning entry was a white sheet with a bunch of greek "P"s in it, "typed" throughout the page . The greek p (Π) resambles a building's skyline..Lots of them accordingly constitute a city made of letters...
They say Greece has approximately 20 years of delay, related to art, science and social movements..It is very sad to watch Athens discovering a long gone 90's Minimalist solipsist culture, that has died along with Philip Stark' s Lemon squeezer, and stayed that way during Rem Koolhaas's post-Expressionistic publishes (that -who would have thought it- became a trend). Nevertheless, I' ve estimated that the winning entry is about 30 times cheaper inkwise, compared to mine. This is why you call a graphic designer to do the job. Dead-end-minded graphic designers' abstractism is always cheaper than anything else in the market.
