  3. Six Word Story Inspiration

    In 2010 designer Anne Ulku, and writer Van Horgen, created Six Word Story Every Day(SWSED), a daily storytelling exploration through language and typography. It was inspired by the work Ernest Hemingway regarded as his greatest: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” 

    In 2011, Anne accepted and curated submissions from writers and designers all over the world who created their very own six word stories.

    That’s what I thought, she said.
    Writer: Charles Youel
    Designer: Anne Ulku

    Highballs left rings on the table.
    Writer: Wendy Taylor
    Designer: Virginia Shurgar Hassell

    What a tangled web we weave.
    Writer: Sir Walter Scott
    Designer: Dave Yurkanin


    Noisy yes!, yet crazy and magnificent.
