Karl Escritt’s poster
When Build designed a poster for monthly musical shindig Get Involved that invited people to quite literally get involved – with the poster – he probably never expected he'd get to see the results of other peoples' involvement. However, thanks to the combined power of blog post + myspace bulletin, dozens of you requested the “blank” file in order to get stuck in. Here are the 40+ posters that have been returned to us so far. Please be patient as it will take a little while for the full post to arrive on your screen. And get your scrolling finger warmed up...

I am absolutely dieing to know what the little text says at the top of each page.
I think I could guess though:
MICHAEL C. PLACE. / / BUILD // I AM #1, THE KING OF IT ALL /// MICHAEL C. PLACE. / / BUILD // I AM #1, THE KING OF IT ALL /// MICHAEL C. PLACE. / / BUILD // I AM #1, THE KING OF IT ALL /// MICHAEL C.
