WORDSTOCK DREAMS


Wordstock 2010. Portland, Oregon.


The icon.


The lampshade reads: "America was saved by a wildfire." The floor mat reads: "What happened? Come see Timothy Egan at Powell's Book Stage, Sunday, 12 pm."

Crazy things were happening with this year's slogan ("What happened?") and the festival icon (the red chair) and the design elements (red and white, typeface) in various locations throughout Wordstock. Things would suddenly shift and then just as quickly return to "normal." The festival organizers were definitely keeping everyone on their toes. It was intriguing and dreamlike. It was beautiful.
