Post-It Love

July 17, 2009 @ 1:10 pm

This is the story of a young man and woman who show their love for each other via Post-It art in the office. It starts out small and gets pretty crazy. Check out the credits on the video’s IMDB page. Thanks Pam! [via]

In terms of general office supplies, I can think of none more boring than Scotch Tape and Post-It Notes. Both are necessities but both also come as incredibly mundane units and they’re definitely not something I would proudly display on my desk.

But maybe that’s about to change — at least in Canada — where 3M Canada is producing 2 items created by students at The Ontario College of Art & Design. The student projects were a joint collaboration with OCAD and 3M and the winning designs shown here were awarded with $3000 cash and production in 3M’s product line. If you’re in Canada, look for these items in 2010 (maybe they’ll bring them over State-side…who knows). [via]

Post-It Note inventor watches Sticky Note Experiments

Post-it Note inventor watches Sticky Note Experiments from Ironic Sans on Vimeo.

Remember that video of the Sticky Note Experiments that turned a bunch of Post-It notes into make-shift Slinky’s?

It turns out that the inventor of the Post-It, Art Fry, hadn’t seen it, so David Friedman, a photographer from New York City doing a project on inventors, showed the video to him and recorded his reaction to it. It’s quite wonderful to see his reaction to people making art with his invention.
