Or should we call it a "printervention"? Guerrilla strategies and pro bono works aren't new things in the design world and they certainly aren't mutually exclusive. Cardon Webb is a designer that's taken to merging the two. His Cardon Copy project casts Webb as an uninvited aesthetic repairman. To paraphrase his statement, he hijacks unconsidered flyers, overpowers their message with "new visual language," and places the redesigned version into the original environment.
