Continuing on from our previous experiment with an Easter egg (see ratios:1). This month we have taken a bag of Quavers and subjected the contents to a similar process. Unlike the Easter egg which was 12:1 packaging to contents, the Quavers appear to be somewhere in the region of 20:1 packaging to contents.
Thought – If your fridge or washing machine was packaged in this manor it would be ridiculous.
Friend of TDOD Craig Oldham (working at Manchester’s Music) has just released this publication featuring 10 short essays on Graphic Design. It’s an educational day-glo booklet, namely for students of Graphic Design, and is available from his site.
Craig explains:
Anyone who knows me will be the first to tell you that I’ve always got something to say. And by ’something to say’ they probably mean that I’m always whining about something—moan, grumble, hiss, whinge. That’s me. I do it for everything, so why stop at Graphic Design? Answer is, I didn’t.
10 Penneth is an accompaniment to a lecture series that I have given to students of Graphic Design and takes the form of ten (for lack of a better word—and I can’t understand why there isn’t one) maxims. These maxims take the form of short essays, each one being a lesson that’s an important thing to learn in order to help the students become better Graphic Designers, and in order for them to better understand the profession in which they are entering.
The following happenstance images were created by taking the staples out of broadsheet colour supplements. The results provide us with a subverted, none linear, thought provoking insight into the medium of publishing. And begin to question how we, as individuals, are feed and view visual information.
Try it.
As a general rule it would appear that any company that sites or uses the word ‘world’ in its title inevitably has a crap identity.
In the 1970’s & 80’s the youth of our nation were politically aware and had opinions. They were pro -active and got involved through various causes in voicing these opinions and trying to change society and the world for the better. They were idealistic, pro-active and in a constant battle with some form of authority. Today we have facebook and all is well with the world?
