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

Roland Tiangco presents Dirt Po(or)ster

This is the first day of the rest of your life! It is you, future person, who has the future in your futuristic, super dirty hands! This is a poster from a brilliant bloke from Brooklyn named Roland Tiangco. He, Tiangco, and a kind hand model, Yoshie Hozumi, present this fabulous interactive poster. And I don’t mean interactive computer simulation. I mean getting your hands dirty with real ink and dirt! Physical interactivity! The nerve!

*NOTE Roland Tiangco is not a bloke in the sense that he is from England, instead I only used the word bloke because that’s generally right, and it rhymed there in the sentence.

A poster the recipient completes by revealing spot-varnished type with hands made dirty by handling the poster. This is the first of a series of posters.

Perfect! View the series in order for a special treat. This is disgusting, dirty, and excellent. A fun fact for you all: more than 95% of all internet blog content is re-posted. That means from another online source. This post you’re looking at is a part of that.

If you are in the publishing business, the following fact might excite you: in the entire time World Famous Design Junkies has been active, the most popular post has been this: Sexist Vintage — a snapshot. Just one photo I took. Thousands and thousands of hits because THAT is unique and new content. Noone else has that!

Get your hands dirty, bloggers, and more importantly(?): get you hands dirty designers!
