Postmodern Design Book: A Methodology.
The Symbolic Significance of Colour Line & Form.
A step-by-step practical guide through the methodology I use to synthesises written language, research notes, in to a visual language of sign-signifiers that are culturally significant.
The method is in two parts; the first part results in a 2D solution, the second part results in the design of a an object.
I delivered the methodology described in this design book, in various forms, to students attending undergraduate courses in design at a number of Academic Institutions in the UK.
For some it was life changing as it offered an insight in to the symbolic codes that structure our external and our internal worlds. We are creatures of symbolism, we respond to the world symbolically.
