on january 25th, i called for submissions of pictures of my helvetica poems in real life. i said i would use the pictures to create a pre-release remix of my book and to generate a book cover (to be voted on)around forty people signed up, and twenty-four people successfully sent me pictures by the remix 1.0 deadline. the pictures come from several different countries, and they include oversized printings of the poems and some light vandalism. many of them have made me laugh out loud
the most voted-on picture will be the cover for the book’s first print run. other most voted-on pictures will be used for future print runs, if there are future print runs. (each print run will likely only be 100 copies, so there may be many print runs depending on demand.)
if you missed out on this remix, i will launch a second remix (2.0) along with the normal book launch, march 1st, or soon after. if there seems to be a demand for even more print-runs, pictures from that remix will be eligible as book covers too. i encourage you to email me (steveroggenbuck [at] gmail.com) pictures for that remix
thank you very much, and have fun looking at these
