The great Muham­mad Ali was the inspi­ra­tion behind this project. We were asked to design an invi­ta­tion to an open stu­dio night we con­ducted as part of the AGideas Con­fer­ence. Projects like these give the stu­dio an oppor­tu­nity to engage in cre­ative, for cre­ative sake. Our audi­ence was pre­dom­i­nately design stu­dents who spend a lot of time dis­cov­er­ing the dis­course of design.

Muham­mad Ali has been cred­ited with deliv­er­ing the short­est poem ever. The story goes that he stood up to address stu­dents at Har­vard Uni­ver­sity and sim­ply said the words, “Me… We…” It is amaz­ing how pow­er­ful two words can be. We recre­ated Muham­mad Ali’s poem to pay homage to the great man and instill a bit of com­raderie between our stu­dio and the stu­dents of design. We printed the invi­ta­tion on reflec­tive stock which revealed the reflec­tion of the holder. “Me…“

As the card is flipped over it reveals the com­pleted poem. “We…”

    Nice project Lachy. I espe­cially like the way the reflec­tive side of the card con­trasts against the white side — high­light­ing the Me / We counterpoint.
