F/U: Newsworthy

Consider DIY “Project: Newsworthy” complete. Thanks to the local coffee shop for saving several days worth of newspaper for me 🙂 I have succeeded in making recycling appear so good-looking. I used the “Newsworthy” theme for one of my upcoming fashion spreads. Took some time to set up and no glue necessary. And the finished product:

Also makes for the perfect backdrop for my next ad campaign. Sweet!

Newspaper wallpaper. Found this while doing some inspiration research for my next spread. It makes me think that my room is in need of a makeover modification. Things to go on the weekend warrior project list. 😉

“HOW TO FAB YOUR WALLS
It’s all about experimenting with what you’ve got. Look around your space, or a friend’s. You can use almost anything:

Pages from an old book: I couldn’t sell back my outdated Norton Anthologies, so I’m prepping those wafer thin pages to cover a column in 17th century poetry. There’s like, 2000 pages in all.

Postcards from the edge: If you’re someone whose friends and family travel to ooh-la-la places and send good pics, use them.

Greeting cards: Sort them by dominant color, (cut them up if you’re not sentimental) and create your own David Hockney-esque masterpiece

CDs/DVDs: You don’t really need that outdated Windows Install CD do you? Declutter as you design by taking those cast-off CDs from home and the office and paint them to create a geometric border or wall treatment. It will look like, totally groovy.

Sheet music: So lyrical and artsy

Office swag: If you’re the type to bring work home, why not do something cathartic with those oh-so-colorful TPS reports? Or try business cards
