As part of Offset's Transform Your City project mentioned recently, graphic design studio Aad has produced a printed project and website entitled This is not a newspaper. While it might look like a newspaper, be distributed like a newspaper and (hopefully) smell and feel like a newspaper, This is not a newspaper doesn't tell you the news, it fills you in on the thoughts some people have had and stories they've decided to tell about Dublin's South William Street, a Georgian street in Dublin's creative quarter full of shops, cafes, quirky basements and - to contributor Andrew Griffin - 'a Machiavellian world of intrigue'. This is not a newspaper brings together 8 short stories and musings along with 8 illustrations and poses thoughts on online and in person experiences, imaginings of a future South William Street and a call for curiosity and daydreams. Grab a copy if you're in the area or dip in online for a sense of one of Dublin's loveliest streets - what it is and what it could be. Find out what other transformations are occuring in Dublin here and click through for more images.
