| Mill creatives presents – Postcards – A Visual Dictionary. Taking inspiration from an academic project and idea to create a useful community based reference tool for all, mill launches its latest brief. The brief aims to attract participants from all diversities and Arts disciplines. Using the language of the alphabet mill hopes that the submissions to the brief will culminate in a visual reference book showcasing how a vast range of people perceive the world and language within in it. ‘Language and ultimately communication is not just words, or letters for that matter; it is shapes, sounds, colours and feelings’, comments Helen Barlow one of mill creatives’ founders. ‘ We’re hoping people will find this a quick, easy and fun creative project to be part of. The kind of thing you can do when you’re lacking creative motivation or just want to do something different. With it being such an open brief but using the theme of letters we’re giving people the freedom to document language how they see it and are excited to see the results.’ Not only will the works submitted form a special online gallery exhibition, the mill team are hopeful that the simple way in which the format works will make it an accessible idea to turn the online exhibition into a real one and into a printed and bound book containing the submissions and the details of all those who’ve taken part.
