The Urban Forest Project
The Urban Forest Project
"Design Times Square: The Urban Forest Project brings 185 banners created by the world’s most celebrated designers, artists, photographers and illustrators to New York’s Times Square. Each banner uses the form of the tree, or a metaphor for the tree, to make a powerful visual statement. Together they create a forest of thought-provoking images at one of the world’s busiest, most energetic, and emphatically urban intersections."
Brought to Times Square by AIGA, the project invited selected talents from around the world to put in their 2 cents visual statement about trees. The banner results, all 186 of them, can be viewed from the Urban Forest Project website. In September, New Yorkers (and NYC's tourists) will see these banners grace Times Square. After one month of showing, the banners will be made into bags and sold at auction to benefit student of the arts.
Omar Vulpinari, head of the Visual Communications department at Fabrica, was amongst the invitee. Here is his banner (click on it to view the big one at the UFP site):
