Rules are meant to be…followed! Kate and I made up a rule-based project / game for Instagram in this new year. We’ve given ourselves a photographic assignment for each day of the work week. We call it #y12k which is meant to indicate the year 2012. Turns out that it literally translates to the Year Twelve Thousand which makes it even more awesome.
Here are the rules:
Monday #mondaycolor
Take a photo of something containing a color. Each week rotates through ROY G. BIV. The first week was Red, this week was Orange (we actually started #y12k the last week of December ‘11), next Monday will be Yellow, and so on.
Tuesday #typetuesday
Photograph some typography that catches your eye.
Wednesday #patternwednesday
Photograph, you know, a pattern.
Thursday #thursdaything
Take a picture of a singular object. It can be anything as long as it’s a self-contained thing and you find it interesting. Tell us about it (this applies to all of them by the way)
Friday #fridayfocus
This one’s about focusing on the media you’re into at the moment. It can be music, movies, tv shows, books. Just take a picture of it and share it with us all.
Here’s what the #y12k collection looks like so far: http://ink361.com/#/photos/tag/y12k
So that’s #y12k for ya. Oh, and you can add your photos to the #y12k pile too. It’s as easy as tagging it.
