sometimes i wish i could just hold up a sign when dealing w/ situations or people, or pass a note. in all of those situations when i just don't feel like explaining myself. we could have universal sign language when we just don't feel like talking. it could be something along the lines of: "hey, nothing to see here...move along. ok. thanks." well thanks to chris simmons and the creative folks at MINE a design firm in san francisco i may have found my answer.
not unlike police tape we see at crime scenes, "everything is ok." tape lets the passersby and people involved know that all is fine and there is nothing to be alarmed by. i need some of this tape in my life. i could wrap it all over me and my boxes. so when my friends come to help me move this weekend, they'll see the cue and know that all is copacetic and there is nothing to worry about. in fact i think this tape is a must in the household first aid kit.
MINE is nominated for a prestigous cooper-hewitt people's design award. give them a hand and vote for them! just click here.
