Designers have the role of forming language at a visual level and so a social responsibility for that content. This responsibility is compounded by the free access to media enables by everyone. The example given by the group was that we all have access to ‘Meine Kampf’. The question was should we have access to it and if so does it assume, should it assume that we are responsible in our consumption of it?
I have owned this web address for many years and have always intend it to act as my online portfolio, first point of contact for my freelance practice and place to highlight interesting, to myself at least, pieces in the very broad church of Graphic Design. This may still come to pass, but to date I have failed spectacularly to ever get it into any kind of shape that I would be happy for the great and good of the world wide web to descend upon. Or have real reason to do so.
This is especially true when I am very aware of the many excellent blogs and websites that discuss Graphic Design (look at the links).
So this site is getting a relaunch. First I have implemented the fantastic Basic Maths theme to avoid wasting anymore time being permanently unsatisfied with my own attempts. Secondly its main purpose is now to document, record and discuss my work and findings as I progress through my part time MA in Graphic Design at the London College of Communication.
So hello world! again.
