Personal Design Language

Research · Process · Archive

What's your signature? What's the throughline in your work? What's your design DNA? This is my personal W·I·P· reference.

  1. "TH!NK B!G"
  2. "MAX PPi!"
  3. "System 1, System 2."
  4. "Between Bauhaus & Basquiat."
  5. "Then. ↔ Now! ↔ When?"
  6. "Canon Couture"
  7. "Pixel Perfect"
  8. "English Second Language"
  9. "HYPERL!NK"
  10. "High Brow, Low Brow"
  11. "Sex Sells"

Exercise inspired by Virgil Abloh's Harvard Graduate School of Design Core Studio Public Lecture: Virgil Abloh, “Insert Complicated Title Here”.
