About to leave Oxford and an amazing experience at the TED Global conference that will take some time to simmer on after a day or two of hibernation. In the meantime, just wanted to spread the word that CUP is looking for designers and visual artists to pair up with advocates for a new round of Making Policy Public. I had a spectacular time working with them and The Street Vendor Project to translate the scary legalese into an accessible guide to street vending that clarifies the most commonly violated rules and then some.

Hello from Sweden!
I found you on TED and that your location is not so far from mine!
This is a fantastic project!
I always think that the society is like a cellphone or computer interface in the sense that the society also need more design factors for people to live comfortably in. But the laws and policies are so tedious for an average person to follow that they seem to be made for people to break and get fined. Something really should be done about it!
This project is fantastic. It is one step forward to turning an ideology into reality!
I hope there will be more projects like this everywhere in the world.
Wish you every success!

Hey Birdon - thanks! That’s a great analogy, how can we design better UI and UX for navigating your rights and understanding of the city… I’m trying to find more ways to do projects like this, one step at a time… Keep in touch!
