Dan Moll on the differences between Art Direction and Design, and how they compliment each other when combined in a strategic process.

Fray began as a website. It presented individually designed, true first-person stories. Each one ended with a question that prompted the audience to tell their stories, too. It evolved into a series of live storytelling events, Fray Days and Fray Cafes, that took place all over the world, attended by thousands of people. Now Fray is evolving again – this time into a quarterly series of independently produced books. Each one will be on a central storytelling theme, and include personal stories, articles, and original art. They come out quarterly. The core of Fray remains unchanged: It’s about true stories. It’s about proving that extraordinary things happen to ordinary people. It’s about finding that common thread that connects us all together.
