working on a new project

 

i am working on a project dealing with the famous graphic designer Otl Aicher. 

in his book that i am reading, there is no capitalization of letters.  i don't know if it has to do with an association with Jan Tschichold or Bauhaus but, i thought that while i write about or work with this project i would only use lowercase letters.  Sound like fun?

the book is pretty hard to read fluidly because it has been translated into english from german.

i intend to share the following quote, not because i know exactly what it means and like what it says.  i share it because it seems profound if it means what i think it to mean.  make sense?

 

" in design man becomes what he is.

animals have language and perception as well.

but they do not design."

 

well. let me know what you think of this quote or the artist Otl Aicher, or bauhaus or design in general for that matter.
