Graffiti gets a hard press a lot so it was nice to see David Miliband at our exhibition showing some support.


Also feeling the funk the kids from custom break throw down some moves in front of the More Than a Word art work

New Line had a great time working on this exhibition for Find Your Talent @ The Customs House. We worked with around 150 young people from ages 5-19 from all over the region.

The idea behind the exhibition was to show that there is more to a person than what is shown on the surface, just as there is more to graffiti than just a word. To illustrate this point we worked with the young people to design their names, and to come up with a couple of words that described their personality. All of the thoughts and feelings went up onto the final wall whilst all of the name boards were shown throughout the rest of the gallery. The visual impact was quite striking. Thanks to all the young people who got involved.

One of the best bits of the exhibition was working along side Jonathan Smee aka Mash One on the finished wall. As a professional graphic designer working for M&C Saatchi Jonathan was able to help us work on the Calligraphy side of the exhibition, as we wanted to use as many different styles of writing as we could to help illustrate the point of diversity. Heres a little video of him at work:
