As many of our cities and towns expect that the the farmers market movement will be formalized more and more for government needs, it helps to find others who came before us to know how to handle these interactions. The Street Vendor Project in NYC is an excellent example of how good information and recommendations can be offered to both the vendors and the city while recording the important history of street vending. Amazing site.

I particularly like the brochure designed in partnership for this project that actually hangs on my cubicle wall. This is a 2-sided brochure that explains a whole bunch of information with graphics. There are policy recommendations for the city, logistical details for the vendors and case studies for the researcher. Designer Candy Chang is one of my favorite graphic people and this piece has led me to many of her others.
