mechanics library window
a window with a display - I like window displays, DIY displays.
They had printed out the words "living for cheese", or something, on their laserprinter using the wackiest font they could find, one of those windowsô fonts that (sort of) match a real font (it was a bit like Peignot) - anyway there were a few bits of cut up paper and maybe a gold star or two stuck on cardboard...
why do I like this so much, why did it jump out of the other street stuff? why do I like the fact it is right next to (and to the uninitiated would seem part of) the Swinburne National Institue of Design...

I dig those moments when something 'undesigned' captures your designed mind, and this spins off all sorts of questions, like:
- what design training do you really need to be a designer?
- did you respond to that because you were a designer? in other words, would a un-designer respond to it in the same way?
- how did the person make that sign, what was s/he thinking of by the method and placement of the elements?
- could designers design like that?
Hmmmmm (please take a photo of sign)
