Though we are living in a world full of new high technologies, if sometimes we go back to nature and illustrate things as simple as it is originated to be, I believe it will give our life a big surprise and impress a lot of audience.
The picture above I found out on the Internet is the newly published promotion poster designed by Bates 141, Jakarta for Photoshop CS 4. The format is exactly the outlook of photoshop. However they used real materials to replace those electronic icons on the screen according to exact sizes and then they took a picture of it as their promotion for CS 4. That is, this picture was not made by computer. It is a real photo taken by people. I must say I was surprised and impressed when I first looked at this poster.
What I want to express is that, we are using more and more computer to design nowadays and as a DGC student, we cannot avoid conputer either. But in my opinion what appears on the screen actually all generates from our daily life and the real world. We get idaes from what we see from our maybe simple surroundings and these simple images gives us new ideas to create and design the more complex images on the computer.
Complexity all comes from simplicity. This is what I believe when people design.
I guess what I think about today also has something to do with "PRAGNANZ". Sometimes simple things can express much more than complicated figures. They go back to nature and give audience space to think more.
