The “Collage Design” Challenge
Creating a Unique Viewer Response.
The “Namestyle” Project
Flat Out explores the disintegration of our social fabric, which refers to the connections formed through consistent, positive interactions among the same group of people. The typographic grid symbolizes how our society organizes the spaces we inhabit, similar to the gridded layout of our cities, which contributes to the dismantling of our social bonds.
The “Poster” Projects
Every Flat Out poster element was handmade, cut from magazines, or crafted from paper. Organizing and determining the final position of these elements took hours. The digital type, geometric shapes, and graphic lines were designed to contrast with the underlying collage of each poster. Each collage was assembled to complement the headline of the poster.
The “Interactive Wall” Project
The Flat Out interactive wall project’s purpose is to depict how our social fabric is no longer bonded together through repeated and positive interactions. Today, it is continually attacked and torn apart by repeated negated and violent assaults from our world leaders that ultimately permit their ‘followers’ to violate basic human rights.
The “Magazine” Project
The Flat Out advertorial magazine spread features a compelling blend of design elements that create contrast. By merging analog and digital aesthetics, it evokes a modern yet nostalgic feel, offering a tactile experience alongside digital precision. The interplay of layered and flat designs adds depth and interest, while a balance of open spaces invites exploration.
