Beijing 2008: Design + the Global Response
Branding, Art | Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 @ in the early afternoon
Fubiz tuned me on to these beguiling images by Parisian illustrator Jules Julien [note–not work safe]. Does this work imply that within a consumerist culture, we are soon defined by the products we consume? Or that globalization leads to the loss of cultural identity?
It’s interesting to consider just how many brand services and products each of us consume every single day. This point is well made by annonymous blogger Dear Jane, whose timeline of every logo she sees on an average day rings true for most of us. Take a moment to think about it: what would yours look like? No doubt there’ll be a Facebook/Twitter application out there soon.
