ANSWERS ONA POSTCARD
Students on two Cambridge School of Art MA courses at Anglia Ruskin University were offered the opportunity to collaborate in the production of a book. This is the result.
The aim of illustrating brief messages or thoughts led to the idea of using postcards as a simple, playful way to collect responses to our invitation: ‘Tell us…’.
Once the postcard had been designed and distributed to friends, family and work contacts, the most intriguing responses provided inspiration for our illustrations and typography.

I cheated on my last boyfriend.
Then we broke up because I told him he didn’t seem committed enough to me.

was open.
luckily it was an old bag-type cleaner so
the gerbil appeared, a bit dusty, but alive!
