Writers and designers, get involved with SWSED here: www.sixwordstoryeveryday.com
In 2010, we created Six Word Story Every Day (SWSED), a storytelling exploration through language and typography inspired by the work Ernest Hemingway regarded as his greatest: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
Now we invite the creative community to keep SWSED alive by creating your own stories. We would love for you to participate through your writing, design – or both. Our hope is to encourage new friendships and collaborations along with an opportunity to hone and showcase your immense talents.

Six Word Story Hand Made Typography Challenge
Since January 1st 2010, I have been involved in a daily collaborative challenge with copywriter Van Horgen, named Six Word Story Every Day. It is a story telling exploration through language and typography posted every day in the year 2010.
Since these stories have a focus on the written word and typography, I have done a great deal of manipulating typefaces, tracing type, mix and matching letters, creating my own type (see some on my type | design blog) and new fonts for download (Decopolitan, and this one which is still in progress).
The point of this post is that I would like to challenge myself, for the next 30 days, I am going to create the daily story typography & design by hand.
So- sketch, draw, paint, cut & paste, build, sew, glue, cook, photograph, sculpt, mold, weave, fold… etc. The possibilities are endless, yet challenging.
