Complex Simple

Posted by Rob in Whos Learning

Yesterday I worked at The Study Gallery with their young curators group.

They are putting on an exhibition titled 'Messages' that displays many exciting and different ways of communication... some of which can be seen here . (If you haven't taken part in Futureself , do it!)

We're going to produce a flyer, poster, invite and several magazine adverts.

Anyway during the workshop, I was talking about the principles of design and how a simple idea can be the most effective, yet a simple idea doesn't mean it's any less complex.

They coined the phrase 'Complex, Simple'.

We came up with the idea of wrapping up a messenger pigeon to represent 'Messages'...

Complex, Simple?
