Geographics: Simple Form Graphics In Print and Motion

Shapes have long been a muse to designers of all special­ties. The basic structures of quadrilaterals, circles and triangles have consistently lent their propor­tionate qualities to logical and stylish patterns and figures, causing them to be a focal point for artists, de­signers, typographers and architects for centuries. With attention to each designer s originality and unique ar­tistic philosophy, Geo/Graphics surveys the omnipresence and versatility of simple shapes that lead to their broad application in road signs, infographics, typefaces and architectural design. The showcase will examine how flat token shapes of space and volume are reinvented by avant garde designers around the globe, resulting in unprecendented creativity in a variety of mediums.
