character design
Character design on billboards incites us to
consume and as street art, to fight the establishment. Character
design appears as well-intentioned animation on our mobile
phone displays and is a constant, if annoying companion
to hours spent at the computer.
Characters are taking over the advertising, art,
media and urban landscapes across the globe.
As consume-promoting branding or its subversive inversion,
loveable kitsch or urban art, Hello Kitty or Obey Giant
- character representation, abstract and reduced to the
essentials, has redefined the aesthetic standards of visual
communication world-wide.
