Fransk borgmästare förbjuder folk att dö.

With a new issue coming out every six weeks, T-post is the worlds first T-shirt Magazine. Every issue has a news story printed on the inside and a visual interpretation made by a select designer on the outside.

Issue # 37 "For Those in Fear of the Lake of Fire"
The seventy-year-old mayor of Sarpourenx, a village in the southwest of France, has a problem. The village cemetery is packed full, and a request to buy adjoining land has been denied in court. Since most residents of Sarpourenx are very old, and thus have an impending need for a place for eternal rest, an acute dilemma has presented itself. What to do with the dead? Build a new cemetery on the other side of town? Surely an experienced mayor would be able to come up with a reasonable solution? However, the mayor decided to follow less conventional lines of reasoning and concluded: Let us ban death. (More>> www.t-post.se)

"For Those in Fear of the Lake of Fire"is design by Kate Moross
For the third issue in a row, we bring you the talent of a London based designer. This time it's the queen of Peckham - Kate Moross. Starting out by designing flyers and record covers for the London underground music scene a few years ago, she was soon picked up by larger clients and got to design everything from billboards to her own clothing range.

Kate likes three sided shapes and illegible typography and this piece celebrates the marriage of the two. A geometric typeface spells out a sentence, visable for those in fear of the lake of fire... Now, go to katemoross.com and browse through the wonderful world of this 22 year old up and coming design superstar.

The Philosophy of T-post
T-shirts inspire conversation, and when you add a story behindthem, you get people thinking. By combininga news magazine with a T-shirt we're able to utilize theattention and commitment accustom to the ‘fashion world' whilecommunicating interesting news topics. And by putting the written story on the inside of the shirt just for the subscriber to read, the subscriber is really the one communicating the story and getting it to spread outside the T-post circle. Since the article is not usually in-handy while wearing the T-shirt, it really becomes there interpretation of the story, which is even more interesting to hear about we think. It's all part of us trying to re-wire the structures ofnews communication in a strive to get people engage inimportant topics.

"What's fascinating about T-post is the interaction it creates. Nobody asks you about the article you just read in the bathroom. But if you're wearing an issue of T-post, people tend to ask what it's about. The next thing you know, you're talking about the ethical treatment of robots or some bank robbers in Brazil who got away with 45 million bucks. You're forming your own opinion, getting someone else to think about the topic, and it just keeps going from there. It all started out as an experiment. Today we're sending our issues to over 50 countries said Peter Lundgren Editor-in-Chief at T-Post.

A subscription to T-post costs 26 EUR per T-shirt, and can be delivered anywhere in the world. All shipping costs are included in that price. For more information please visit www.t-post.se or/and contact us at peter@t-post.se
