I admit to being guilty of not yet really thinking like a designer in my practice. I'm trying to work on this, especially with the work I'm planning for the Persons of Note brief, but I can always do more to help myself. While in Copenhagen I made a trip to the design museum, to think about design.
There were SO many amazing posters on display here. Poster design is something that I think I could be very interested in, even though I don't know anything about it really, and have 'struggled' (read: made bad work) for both the PPP poster tasks we've made so far. I really loved all the shape and flat colour I saw in the work on display here. Great stuff, am definitely hoping to employ more flat colour in my work in the future (and hopefully embark on a little bit of screen printing)
Saw some beautiful patterned textiles and funky furniture as well. Obviously we spend a lot of time absorbed in the world of illustration, but sometimes it's great to bust out of that bubble and look at some different forms of design. Stops the mind becoming stagnant.
