A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Graphic Design / Posters (Graphic Design) / 2011
Tired of receiving predictable direct mail from photographers, we thought it was time for a change. We developed an idea which wouldn’t feature any photographs, just beautiful and engaging descriptions, encouraging the recipient to visit Paul Thompson’s website and discover the photographs described. Each description was exactly 1,000 words and set to exactly the proportions of the original image. The aim was to convey more about Paul’s personality rather than just his work, as the relationship between art director, client and photographer is key.
