Street Art

It is hard to call Banksy a designer. However this person created a unique and very visible visual language which is witty, engaging and inspiring - ergo what I think a good designer should be able to do. In May this year there was a collaborative project involving various of street artists. Work presented near Waterloo station was innovative and creative. I find it really interesting because of use of ironic visualls, humour, strong - 'poster like' iconography, polemic. It is direct, and immediate what is sometimes missed in commercial generated designs. By design/illustrative twists, it creates another angle for the audience. It uses methapor and that is why it gets so broad, and multi-level. Very refreshing.
