The Substance of Style

Style, in a very brief explanation, is who you are; what you do and how you do it. It's a culmination of all the influences you've been exposed to and is how you view and interact with the world.

No one is free or acts outside of Style. Everyone has one.


Marcel Breuer noticed this idea of style and how it often dictated the work and artist or designer would create, and decided to divorce himself from it; creating purely logically designed items, and removing everything he deemed 'excessive' or 'non-important'.

However, Apathy to style is a style, in and of itself, and was eventually replicated and adopted into culture.


Styles are structured by their hierarchy.

Styles are made up of Classes> Which are made up of Attributes> which the Attributes can Change. 

About Me

I was told to make a blog, for university, and people took this very seriously. And I'm not saying that I haven't (or that there's anything wrong with serious) but I think the best work is made when you are having fun and enjoying what you do. So I'm going to make this enjoyable; both for me and those who end up reading it. And what's more fun than being corporate?! Wait. That doesn't sound correct at all. No matter! I've turned this blog (and myself!) into a brand! A company! An idea... and as batman always says, ideas can't be killed. (But I can please don't kill me) Wow. I am getting sidetracked. Fun! Excitement! Intrigue... These are some of the things you may or may not find here. Because it's mostly going to be graphics work. And writings, about graphics work. Probably both... But I've been known to do what I please. I'm a maverick, a loose cannon. You don't know what I'm going to do next. Probably some really good work. I ran out of things to say about 2 paragraphs ago, what are you still doing here? You should really be looking at all my academic work, it’s much more impressive and interesting than, whatever this is.
