Terry Lynn from Kingston, Jamaica
KINGSTONLOGIC 2.0:
Terry Lynn captures with words a sense of Kingston’s environment and Jamaica’s struggles the way a camera captures images with a lens.
The sound is distinctive, hard and impassioned unlike anything heard from the sunny shores of this Carribean hotspot, matched only by the equally unrelenting imagery of The Afflicted Yard.
Terry wrote directly about the life swirling outside her window with Phred sourcing sounds from around the world. 1.0 was created, and 2.0 evolved the concept further. Days to weeks, months to years, airmiles, studios, sweat and tears, and the project took shape. Add to the mix imagery shot by Peter Dean Rickards of The Afflicted Yard, or filmed by the Rickards Brothers, and the layered perspectives of message, sound and vision, combine to shine light on and transcend day to day life and logic in Kingston.
TERRY LYNN:
The 9th of nine children, Terry Lynn was born and raised in Olympic Gardens, otherwise known as Waterhouse, an impoverished area in Kingston, Jamaica. Terry grew up a tomboy competing against boys all her life, from skateboards to rhymes. Her favorite hobby aside from survival was lyrically clashing with guys selling produce amidst the chaotic markets and crowded arcades of Kingston. She would fiercely take on anyone causing an uproar from passersby witnessing a female spitting hard, insightful lyrics about the city swirling around them.
As a female with a different perspective, Terry didn’t fit into the local studio system of rapid recording and was frustrated by the subject matter. She would not compromise her stance to fit in, opting instead to wait for a time to do things differently. They took as much time as needed to write complete stories and songs capturing her life experiences as she lived them, ignoring time pressures, and removed from the local industry grind. Then they created them once more again. The result is two sides of KINGSTONLOGIC. 1.0 & 2.0 -the first shall be last and the last shall be first.
The hotter the battle the sweeter the victory.

The 100% Easy-2-Read Standard
Most websites are crammed with small text that’s a pain to read. Why? There is no reason for squeezing so much information onto the screen. It’s just a stupid collective mistake that dates back to a time when screens were really, really small. So…
Don’t tell us to adjust the font size
We don’t want to change our browser settings every time we visit a website!
Don’t tell us busy pages look better
Crowded websites don’t look good: they look nasty. Filling pages with stuff has never helped usability. It’s laziness that makes you throw all kinds of information at us. We want you to think and pre-select what’s important. We don’t want to do your work.
Don’t tell us scrolling is bad
Because then all websites are bad. There is nothing wrong with scrolling. Nothing at all. Just as there is nothing wrong with flipping pages in books.
Don’t tell us text is not important
95% of what is commonly referred to as web design is typography.
Don’t tell us to get glasses
Rather, stop licking your screen, lean back (!) and continue reading in a relaxed position.
