today a went jogging and found this …
a card said: “teuer schenke ich den Kreuzbergern als kritik”
you could translate it like:
“expensive is what i criticize the kreuzbergers for”
further on it said:
Max Maßloh, 1. Semester Kommunikationsdesign | design akademie berlin, Hochsachule für Kommunikation und Design
Schrift: Rockwell von Frank Hinman Pierpont, entworfen 1934
i was confused!! why is teuer something you criticize the kreuzbergers for?? they are the first to suffer from high prices in their district! something had to be done! and i did …
i changed teuer = expensive to euer = your and left a little message to the kreuzbergers:
euer bezirk ist es = it is your destrict
and Max, don´t worry you “t” is still there
