At this Rate
Matt Willey from Studio 8 design has designed this book. He used the leafs to represent the map of the rainforest and to raise awareness of deforestation that occurs at a rate of one football pitch a second. I think it is a very clever campaign and visually very stimulating!
The jewish museum in Berlin has left a long lasting impression in my mind. It is a very interactive museum and the architect Daniel Libeskind has definately contributed to the viewers experience. The museum is structured around three axes: the Holocaust axis ending in a dark room, the exile asxis ending in the garden of eden and the axis of continuity. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Berlin!
Jenny Holzer
At an exhibition in Luxembourg on her 'truisms' I discovered Jenny Holzer. Her work inspires me a lot as she uses different city landscapes at night to portray various political and social messages. I don't know if it is the message that stays in your mind or the image that she creates and that you then associate with the message, but it surely portays a good example for typographic meaning. Does the typographic setting influence the perception of the message?
