The Random Project 2006 was part of the London Design Festival. We've been featured in Design Week, listed in Time Out in 10 things to see at LDF, sold Goody Bags on Brick Lane, Dave Gorman featured Random on his blog, we held a second exhibition in Clerkenwell, a lively typography pub quiz at The Foundry, were invited to exhibit at St Bride Type Library, organised two more type quizzes at St Brides and had an online presence which continued to get contributions from around the globe. Contributors to the project included my mum, Ed Fella, Stefan Sagmeister, Ralph Steadman, Alan Kitching, Alan Rickman and Isabelle aged 7 to name just a few.
The Random Project 2006 was organised by graphic designers Sarah Hyndman (With Relish), Claire Mason (Flushleft) and Becky Chilcott (Becky Chilcott Design). It was born out the the Experimental Typography course at the London College of Communication, taught by Sarah, who initiated Random as a forum for ex-students to continue producing work inspired by the course. Soon after it was widened out for everybody to participate in.
From the outset we gathered an international collective
of designers and artists to produce typography-led work
created in response to random words. Whilst many participants
are currently based in London, others live as far afield
as Brazil and India, giving an international perspective
to the collective's work.
