Nevile Brody and Anti Design Festival

There is a really interesting article here from the Design Week blog that supports the growing trend away from very finished, computer generated work - to more honest 'dirty' design.

What I think that's most interesting is the subject of 'failure' and 'disappointment' -


"In saying that it’s about ideas, rather than polish, Brody is harking back to the pre-Thatcher era before design became a business and Photoshop and the like could make even the roughest sketch look finished. Experimentation was more acceptable then, he maintains, and if something didn’t work - i.e. you hit failure - you just moved on."

Read it carefully - and try and get along, there will be more of this trend to come... The website for the Anti Design Festival is here ( it's quite ugly... )
