TERRAIN DE JEUX

  • Kathy Hayes

Self initiated graphic design project entitled "Terrain De Jeux" meaning 'playground' in French. I wanted to create a series of posters and magazine spreads based on the ripped and decaying billboards, old newspapers and magazines, and graffiti I saw while walking around Paris. I was inspired by how the new could be mixed with the old. It made me consider the short lifespan of billboard advertisements, but also how they could be forcefully brought back to life through vandalism. I decided to write the text present on the posters in non sensical Latin as it represents my inability to read French while viewing these billboards.
