and swansea evening hearld and post
commissioned for locws international 09
The project consisted of a series 5 of posters
of collections of drawings depicting Swansea landmarks, which
were distributed around Swansea City. The imagesof recognisable
landmarks from around the city are often
depictions which might not normally be used to represent the
city. The posters were themed on ships, bridges, street
furniture, urban weeds, and assorted landmarks.
These were distributed using 2 methods, one for a private
encounter, one for a more public encounter. The posters were
published incrementally in The Swansea Herald of Wales over the
duration
of the exhibition where individual readers found them as a pull
out page in the paper. In tandem with this they were also
very pubically sited on billboard
at different locations around the city
The idea was to distribute vernacular information about Swansea
using the cities pre existing distribution systems.
