Hello World: Where Design Meets Life
Design is more than just Helvetica. Who knew?
Overview
When many talk about design, they invariably talk about minimalism. We see a harsh white cube. Perhaps a few well-manicured young people painstakingly drawing triangles on graph paper. The graphic designer, in our popular imagination, is a Helvetica-loving, glasses-wearing snob who takes their coffee black and their projects with loads of empty white space. Common (and funny) as this impression may be, it's unsurprisingly a bit reductive.
This talk from internationally-renowned design critic, Alice Rawsthorn, is bound to set us straight. Claiming design is all-encompassing, this talk from Rawsthorn is about the way design in fact influences most of what we see and do in our everyday lives. These thoughts are coming off the back of her new book, Hello World: Where Design Meets Life — check it out, it's pretty well-designed, so she must know what she's talking about.
As Melbourne's CBD become more and more curated — hello city squares, public art, and coloured laneways — it's clear to see the importance of design in most aspects of our lives. After this, perhaps you'll be able to see some of the cogs that make it all work.
