AdmCom:::YOC

YOC – the Official Year of Creativity – is an initiative launched by AdmCom to dedicate 2008 to the exploration of the infinite potential of creative energy.

“Be the change you want to see in the world”, this is the idea behind YOC_BOX, the first in a series of initiatives launched by AdmCom.

An unusual self promotion tool, YOC_BOX is a box containing 366 ironic, surreal and provocative business cards. Each of the cards, which are personalized with the name of the person they are sent to, carries, in highly original graphics, an impossible profession or an imaginary role that we have all dreamed of, or perhaps, would simply enjoy doing for a day. This everyday object has therefore been destructured and reinvented in order to revolutionize the labels and habits that others see when they look at us or that we ourselves see when we look in the mirror.

The concept behind YOC_BOX is also at the heart of YOC_CLICK, the site at www.yearofcreativity.com where you can view the 366 business cards. All the cards, which can be personalized with your own name and downloaded completely free of charge, are ready for printing. Alternatively you can send them to a friend who can personalize them online.

Soon all visitors to the site will be able to interact by sending their proposals for new, imaginary (but not therefore impossible) jobs, reflections and ideas to YOC_CLICK.
