Where is Graphic Design found?

Where is it meant to be seen? In what situation or at what scale?
How is the audience supposed to receive it and are they meant to interact with it.

Who is Graphic Design for?

Who is the potential audience or audiences? Who is meant to 'get it' and who isn't.

Marc Tasman

Whilst researching Noah K Everyday I found this guy, Marc Tasman. He has made a short film made up of thousands of polaroids including him everyday for 10 years (weather this is true or not people are specualtive) but either way I think it is pretty impressive. The video has mini sequences in also which really bring the whole thing to life. I love it and really want to try it out. I know polaroid camera doesn't give you the best results but I really love the imperfections of the pictures created and the personal feel to the images.

Sam Taylor-Wood

I have been looking for something similar to this in photo form for a while but could never remember who did it. Sam Taylor-Wood also does the same video with a rabbit... but it is very unpleasant. I can appreciate the fruit video more than the rabbit one... not sure why as they are both demonstrating the same thing. I reckon thats just the hypocrite in me.

Nine Inch Nails

In my 'What is a Line' feedback it was suggested that I check this out. The music video features a fox decomposing in reverse. Pretty gruesome stuff but it definitely fits with my concept. It is an example of how time can affect a given object. However... I can't seem to find out who direct the video or who shot the footage!

My Eye is on Fire

I saw My Eye is on Fire at the Book fare and just had to buy one of their hot dog fold screen printed A3 books. This is the one that I bought as I loved the colours and story. the illustrations is amazing. Everything about this I love, from the stock to the size. For my, this is pretty much perfect!

Curation, management and design. 32 pages, two colours, 148x210mm." Love the use of limited colours and the whole concept. Just wish I was doing it!
