During my exploration in relation to postcards, what I found most fascinating was notion of users creating their own format. In my research, I notice that all postcards are designed with designated areas for addresses, stamps and messages etc. However, many users often disregard these boundaries and write outside these designated areas, destroying these predetermined formats. These subconscious actions I feel, whether they are the smudging of the ink or the accidental coffee stains, provide a more interesting and personal response than any imagery could.
These folding postcards explore the idea of deconstruction of predetermined formats by allowing the users to first fold the postcards into their desired shape and write on them. Creating a pattern which the message can only be comprehend completely once the receivers re-fold the card upon arrivals.
