Risky Business
I’ve always been intrigued by graffiti. I do not support it’s destructive nature, but semiotically and graphically speaking—the graffiti scene is ripe with potential. I think what I like best about it is that “good” graffiti is that it is often unexpected, a reflection of our culture, and depends largely on the amount of risk one is prepared to take. This week I delivered a lecture on the difference between creative and logical thought in an effort to encourage my students take bigger risks in their design work and process, but I also have to stop and ask myself—what risks am I taking? I hope to answer that question soon.
