Where new design goes to blossom and lost design goes to live again.

Printing With Sunlight

Here’s a DIY project of ease and excellence if ever have I seen one. Designer Fabio Parizzi had the idea to print using nothing but sunlight. How would one do this? One would have to use something that acts as a stencil, the sun to shine through the stencil, and a surface that would agree to fade on command. What Fabio Parizzi has done is make a poster using this concept saying “Every Thing Appears Out of ****- ***”.

The blank spots representing the word “nothing.”

While most posters are made by adding material to paper, this one is made by taking away. That makes it opposite. Also a way to take this sort of project further would be to keep track of the time the sun hit the poster: temporal invisible ink!

This reminds me of another fantastic poster project whose creation process is quite a bit dirtier. It never fails to amaze me how many different ways to make a poster there are that have NOT been done yet. Get to work!

A celebration of the sun!
