Reclassified

Visited the latest exhibition in the Greenhouse Gallery in Guernsey. The blurb says 'Reclassified is curated by Adam Roberts who has invited graphic designers from Guernsey and the UK to re-design a classified advert from our very own Guernsey Press. The artists (given just one month) re-imagined how the text from a classified ad could be reinvented as a portrait-sized A4 artwork. The results are now on show at the greenhouse along with an innovative newspaper style ‘catalogue’.'

Given that the source material can be pretty mundane the invited designers came up with some very striking designs and the catalogue was nice take-away. All were black and white, many of them exploited what the ads only hint at (I'll try and source some of them at some point for this blog) with some very minimal in approach. Doodlethug Ryan De Haaff had a nice take on an ad for a kick boxing class.
