Nothing yet everything

Kenya Harris invites designers to explore the notion of "emptiness". He posits that we can facilitate conversation and exchange in graphic design by creating design that acts as a vessel for that communication to take place. emptiness

this project is a leaflet that on one side, houses some of the thoughts on the empty vessel and on the other side, provides one such vessel to contemplate.




The idea for this project seems quite strange and perhaps thought provoking. ( I don't know whether to think that the idea is a little bit pretentious )
however, the design that came with is, I think is really beautiful. The leaflet design is subtle and light but the message on it is quite interesting. On one side is all the thoughts of the group of designers and on the other side which is meant to be the empty vessel is filled in with interesting imagery.

I like that one the onside is it purely type and then on the other, one image is visible. everything is clean and crisp. It is the something in the "emptiness" that is really beautiful
