T-POST spring 2008

In April 2008 T-Post presents the 35th issue of the wearable magazine with the title "The Tears of a Clown", designed by London-based, Finnish illustrator and graphic artist Klaus Haapaniemi.

"What's fascinating about T-post is the interaction it creates. Nobody asks you about the article you just read in the bathroom. But if you’re wearing an issue of T-post, people tend to ask what it’s about. The next thing you know, you’re talking about the ethical treatment of robots or some bank robbers in Brazil who got away with 45 million bucks, you’re forming your own opinion, getting someone else to think about the topic, and it just keeps going from there."

T-post started in 2004 on the idea to re-wire the structures of news communication while concepting ways to engage people in important topics. "T-shirts inspire conversation, and when you ad a story to them, you get people thinking; you create a buzz. By combining a magazine subscription with a T-shirt we’re able to utilize the attention and commitment accustom to the ‘fashion world’ while communicating interesting and important news topics. It all started out as an experiment. Today we're sending our issues to over 50 countries." Peter Lundgren
