Weekly Post 22 (Magazine)

And yet it goes round…

Basically, this article shows us how movement has influenced the world a lot including the graphic designers. In the world of designing, anticipating movement, bodily movement and translating mobility have always been challenges for designers to tackle. In our world, transportation system is the challenge. The author gives the RATP as an example. RATP is the public transportation system in Paris and the author uses this system to show how many different ways of movement there are from just one location, Paris. There are subways, buses and the RER (high-speed train services). These systems are all provided and open for us to use by just purchasing a ticket or a pass. The author, who is also a designer, presents some of his work which represents movement. His main characteristic that he uses in all of his designs is the use of light. He believes that light is a very important quality of movement and expresses the impulse of movement very effectively.
