Mrs. Connection

Lately I have dis­cov­ered so many tal­ented design­ers and clever projects through The SVA Designer as Author MFA pro­gram, and Mrs. Connection is cer­tainly one of them. This project — a col­lab­o­ra­tion between Cristina Vasquez and Karin Soukup—was cre­ated for Stefan Sagmeister’s class, “Can Design Touch Someone’s Heart”, and con­ceived as a result of the pop­u­lar Craigslist Missed Connections posts. The two women took on the per­sona of Mrs. Connection and headed to the sub­way to dis­trib­ute let­ter­pressed for­tune teller flow­ers that also con­tained secret Craigslist posts inside. Be sure to check out the video that document’s the project in action below.

    Thanks for the post — and the type catch! We had actu­ally fixed that, although it obvi­ously didn’t upload prop­erly to my vimeo. Will make that change soon. A newer ver­sion on Cristina’s site here: http://​www​.cristi​navasquez​.com/

    […] This girl came up with a lit­tle project coined Mrs. Connection where she con­structed those for­tune teller things all 80′s kids know and loved, let­ter­pressed with actual missed con­nec­tions. She then dressed up as “Mrs. Connection” and dis­trib­uted the paper trea­sures at her local sub­way, turn­ing what I con­sider totally creepy stalker notes of des­per­a­tions into pure charm. (Genius girl who I do not know, please marry me.) These are , nat­u­rally, the expected results of projects that could only come from stu­dents in Stefan Sagmeister’s class, “Can Design Touch Someone’s Heart”. Make sure and watch the video in the link because it is not embed­ding for me. […]
