Inspiration
Our concept is inspired by contemporary concerns and the historical context of design. As classical, baroque, and Victorian design emerged from the surrounding environment of its creators, so too will we derive our ideas. We will find inspiration from the world around us. Though unlike classical design, it will manifest itself differently. Instead of using ornate shapes and patterns to create a graphic picture limited to the explanation of an environment, our design will include literature in graphic form to confront human issues. Thus, information becomes the new ornamentation. We propose it as the next phase in the evolution of design. This stage has been preceded by the bourgeois ornamentation of the Victorian era and the utilitarian, austere characteristics of the modern age. In this context, information as ornamentation becomes a democratic tool.
