OC/NV: 15-20Graphic design, contemporary culture and current issues, be they political, environmental, economic or social, affect the way we work in our world. How do we derive meaning from words and images? How does our contemporary culture and all of its complexity inform our work? How do we as designers help shape the contemporary cultural landscape? This project shows how writing informs the process of design and in turn helps shape meaning. This visual/word project encourages the viewer to reflect on issues.
The issue I chose to highlight was the toxicity of some aspects of the music industry and how that effects not only artists but audiences and industries. Some of the topics illustrated in this project include: diversity, exploitation, limitations, access, etc. The panels showcase ten articals, vector illustrations, single word summarization, image, and twenty-five word summarization to evoke thought through a visual language.
