the best graphic design

POSTED IN Outside the Square 9.06.2010

The best graphic design ideas I think, happen by accident. It’s hard to totally explain but look around you, or better still go for a walk and look around you. The solution to a layout problem can be found by looking at buildings and the way they sit next to each other and interact within environment. This view can be reformatted into a new layout matrix providing you with a graphic layout. A grid made by paving stones can become a new matrix for a font. I often go out on the weekends and take photos of all different interactions with things in the world, like buildings taken from different angles. Layers of stickers and graffiti in a phone box are made by many different people over an extended amount of time and are a rich source of inspiration.
