It’s a good day in the land of Design for Mankind. If you’ve been reading this site for more than two days, you’ll know I have a pretty stark aversion to discouragement. It’s mean, it smells and it makes you look fat. So, you can imagine my excitement with the AWESOME Jeff Hamada from Boooooooom! emailed me to brainstorm a potential collaboration. He became my instant hero when he suggested we do something that will filter out all of the gross negativity and bring something shiny to the table.
Thus, we introduce: Free Encouragement, an untitled [for now] project for EVERYONE! Details are over on Jeff’s site, as I won’t be taking over until the second half, where the project takes a fun and unexpected turn in December. Get excited—- this is going to be the BEST project of ’08.
Well, one of them at least. ;)

I love encouragement…and I love not paying for it! Hooray! I’m headed over there now to get the real details.
awesome project! i just submitted my encouragement! can’t wait for part 2!
Kudos to you and Jeff. You are the project queen, lovely!
what a thoughtful concept, erin. i saw this on krissy’s blog today, too. it’s all too easy to go negative on the internet. this is an excellent conscious effort to get things going in the other direction. this world would automatically be a better place if people just started being nicer to each other.
Erin, this is fantastic! I love when someone goes out of there way to do something positive for people in a new and out of the box kind of way! Kudos to you dear!!!
ps, just saw your interview on Imprint Magazine. Wow, way to go girl:)
i can’t wait for part two!
Question: When do you find time to sleep? ;-)
I love it. Need to think of something to send.
With you involved, it will be the best project of 08!
I love the idea that discouragement makes you look fat! Ha! Maybe it even MAKES you fat. Even more reason to avoid it at all costs!
What a lovely idea, I’ve already partaken in part 1, and looking forward to part 2!
i can only hope it makes the smallest of differences. :)
Free…and encouraging??? Brilliant!
I’m in!
YAYYYYYYY! :)
a WONDERFUL idea erin! nothing good comes from negativity.
