Write home about Bethnal Green is a project of illustrative postcards of iconic buildings of Bethnal Green, an area of East London. I’m a graphic and interactive designer from France and I’ve lived in Bethnal Green for a bit more than 2 years. All East London is very fascinating to me and Bethnal Green even more as it is the area I know the most. There are plenty of interesting places here with a lot of history behind their walls, and new places to discover are opening more and more. The neighbourhood always inspires me a lot, so I wanted to make a project from it. If you have more questions about the project, feel free to send me an email: melanie[dot]hubertcrozet[at]gmail[dot]com Mélanie
