THE BRIEF
As the autumn sets in, days get shorter and darker, we are in the mood for a good old story…🍁
Long before Reddit, Giphy, or Twitter, humans were building a vast repository of myths, legends, and fairy tales. For generations, they've been telling these stories around fires, passed down orally, and occasionally written. Now? They're gathering around a web page asking to make a typographic poster about it.
Bring your favourite folklore story to life with the mighty power of typography.
You can pick from world-famous lore: vampires, witchery, burial sites, tooth fairies, and cryptic beasts. Or dig deeper in the local folklore of a specific/your own region: the obscure regional ghosts, forgotten fables, or bizarre town traditions and superstitions that never quite made it outside their hometowns. Why do some myths conquer the world while others fade into obscurity? 🐉🔮
And what about the modern folklore unfolding right now? Long before the first Lime bike was ever tossed into a canal (what kind of modern creature is behind that?), people were throwing coins into rivers as a pagan offering to appease the water spirits. 🌊
From cute local fables to bone-chilling urban legends, bring your myths into the light. Cast your spell, design your poster, and share your story with the community.
We can't wait to see what you summon! ⚡️
Deadline is Thursday the 1st of October at midnight (GMT).
