Be nice to nerds
Exhibited at SEA Gallery from 21-30 September 2006.
Grafik Magazine, in association with Letraset Ltd, commissioned 32 international designers to create a unique poster made by hand using Letraset’s Tria Markers on A1 paper.

BE NICE TO NERDS, CHANCES ARE YOU'LL END UP WORKING FOR ONE.
(Bill Gates)

Doing this poster by hand, made me think of the pre-computer era, and particularly, of Bill Gates who was creating machines in his Californian home. At the same time a whole generation was soaking up the Californian sun, psychedelic music, hallucinogenic drugs and seeing the world in vivid colours. He went on to become the wealthiest man on earth - the nerd, the one who invented the tool that all the trippers are now using.

Love the nerds!
