Get London Reading is a campaign by Booktrust to get Londoners reading books set in London. To promote the campaign, KentLyons have created a selection of installations around London, showing extracts from books in situ. The extracts appear on pavements, windows and rubbish, as though the words have fallen from a book.

We'd like you to rate a project for success in three different areas. Tick looks good if it is aesthetically pleasing, and tick works well if it is technically innovative. Most importantly tick performs effectively if you think it meets all of its professional objectives.


Obviously we don't really expect to see any work submitted that is no good, but you never know.

get reading

nothing pleases me more than some good typography hitting the streets. It would please me even more if the little samples of text weren't qualified with a logo. Although i doubt you could convince the client not to have a logo and web link in this day and age.

p.s. great to have you posting on here Mark but this is supposed to be about other people's work. You should do what i do - accept small bribes to post work on here ;)

walking on words

I love this work. I'll keep my eyes pealed and hopefully I'll spot an extract under my feet soon.
