THE BRIEF
Let’s be real – how many of you are feeling a little tired?
The screen fatigue is real, heatwaves are real (so is climate change) and while a glorious summer sun is shining outside, the creative batteries are running a bit low.
We almost called this month’s theme Type&Burnout!
But instead of focusing on the exhaustion, we want to look together at antidotes.
Care is what anchors us when everything else feels overwhelming.
It’s about the things, routines, and rituals that restore our balance, protect our energy, and give us a sense of purpose and direction.
This month, we want to see posters that feel like a deep breath.
Whether you are inspired by the slow rhythm of a morning routine, the practice of a craft that means something special to you, the aroma of a recipe you finally nailed, this brief is an invitation to celebrate what keeps you grounded, and to share it with the T&F community.
As always, what the poster says is entirely up to you. It could be a universal reminder to slow down, or a very personal tribute to the activity or theme you care about the most. Here are a few ideas:
Rituals: Coffee in the quiet, cook without a timer, the small wins of gardening, getting lost in the pages of your favourite author.
Boundries: Turning off notifications, taking a break from social media, make a space for yourself and your thoughts.
The Collective: How we show up for each other. Mutual aid, community care, and gentle connection.
The Analog: Stepping away from the pixels and subscriptions. Sketching, printing, or letting raw, imperfect hand-drawn lines take the lead.
Take a moment. Log off. Protect your energy, and then show us what care looks like to you. We can’t wait to see what you create.
Be kind to yourself!
