err here is cc of email i sent out to a couple of people..hopefully it answers a few questions or raises more hehe
Thank you for your interest.
As i said in my posts on NT that i have no formal thing in mind but a network of print designers all over and play . it was an idea i had to connect with other print designers ( very hard to find in this day and age of web/flash design) and to start a loose collective where we can share work, make contacts, give ourselves projects to do
for example city poster project based on a theme we can decide on.
I am open to naming it and every design goes through the filters of the members , we tweak it and we broadcast it. I know it seems crazy but i firmly believe that those who are passionate about print ( in all its forms and interpretations) will love a chance to revive it backBasically the idea is to have fun, explore ideas and learn techniques (different papers, inks, mediums.......so on so forth)
in hopes that it will help us grow as designers. Hope this is of some interest to you.
thanks again
cheers!

I'd be interested and know of a couple other Torontonian print designers that would probably be up for some fun projects.
Keep the info coming.

I like how any time I've ever actually responded to a thread, that it suddenly dies.

anyone wanna bounce ideas for a mass poster project ( there is one alreayd going on agaisnt Mr. Bush' war and the paranoid america.)
i would like to say that this isnt only for liberal designers. i respect any well-thought ( ie; no name calling or sheep fucking reference) debate .
bottom line everyone welcome
lets start bouncing ideas.

I might be down. Just working on too many projects as it is; moving and starting a new job in 2 weeks. Not to mention the girlfriend wants to kill me for all the time behind the computer. But yeah count my right foot in ... hookie pokkie style.
I think I'll stay away from the Bush poster though.

I think we should do fake gig posters with subtly mispelled headliners, like "Wu-Tong Clan July 25th at the Phoenix" then go take pictures of either people waiting in line for a show that isn't actually happening or digruntled consumers when they can't find tickets anywhere.
