I have participated of an initiative from Myvinilo, a Barcelona based company that design, produce and distribute decorative vinyls around the world. They invited me to be part of The Wonderwalls project, consisting in ten Barcelona designers, designing four wall decals each which could transmit the essence of art and design.
My proposal consisted in the design of a serie of famous quotes, where one or two words have been substituted by a vynil blackboard, to encourage the users to complete them by writing or drawing whatever they want. I’m very happy to have been able to work on product design for the first time.
The two quotes I chose where : “Don't try to be original; just try to be good” by Paul Rand and “Work cures everything” by Henri Matisse, that after my intervention will look like this: “Don't try to be ______ just try to be______” and “______ cures everything”
Here you have a little animation of the design process.

…and later they were digitized to fit the purpose
The final design of the quotes
One of the relevant aspects is the size, 52x100cm and 92x100cm repectively, fact that allows to use the quotes as complete wall decorations. Also the user can compose them in different ways.
Different possible positions of the wall decal
My final collection of Wall decals at The wonderwalls is completed with two of my personal already existing projects, the LOVE Lettering (for the teenager public) and the Are any of these your typeface? customized in a very colorful version, both chosen by MyVinilo for this special ocassion.
