The Art of Sandwiches kickstarter poster campaign

Australian designers Jeremy and Gabrielle have created a Kickstarter campaign for their poster series titled The Art of Sandwiches. The project features four art movements that intrigued the designers the most: Abstract, Cubism, Minimalism & Psychedelic, represented by the image of a Sandwich. With only five days to go, the designers are getting close to reach their goal of $3,200 AUD, which covers the printing costs for all 8 posters. The poster will only be printed once, creating unique edition that will not be available for purchase after the campaign is finished.

Kickstarter Poster Advice

Who said poster designers can’t be entrepreneurs? Fast Company has published an article called 5 Lessons From The Kickstarter Designer Who’s Been Making A Poster A Day For A Year, telling the story of Alex Proba, a successful designer who created her own kickstarter project to make one poster per day. Make sure you read the full article here, but in the meantime here’s a summary of the advice:

1. Restrict your time, not your creativity.
2. Look to daily life for inspiration.
3. Be prepared to dislike most of what you produce.
4. Find and engage a community.
5. Don’t be afraid to keep a secret.

STiiCKs – A new great way to display posters

We usually like to share Posters with you, but this time we thought it would be nice to show you a cool way to frame them instead. Stiicks™ claim to be  “the simplest, most well-crafted frame ever.” And they might well be.

If you love posters you´ve probably faced the problem of buying great prints which unfortunately end up rolled in tubes, inside your closet drawers, or elsewhere not properly displayed. Part of the problem is that framing is expensive, and also lack of space to display all of your poster collection.

Stiicks by Brandon Knowlden solve this problem by using just 4 thin strips of wood with super-strong magnets. Easy to install, comes in a variety of sizes and finishes and makes posters easy to display and swap. Added value is the fact that they are crafted locally  with sustainable materials, sourced  regionally and responsibly in Chicago.

The project was funded in December 2013 trough Kickstarter and is available for purchase now trough WeAreWellMade. Check out the original fundraising video for more info.
