Graphic Design & Typography
April, 2019
MESSAGE. TECH. HUMAN











A project from Graduate Typography 2 class that uses posters, motion, and collaterals to execute the core methodology from either an artist, a musician, a photographer, a philosopher, a theorist, a poet, or a critic. Marshall McLuhan is a personal choice for this specific project and his theories potentially allow the designer to embed his critique/comments on media and mediums as well.
