Looking at the work of Rob Ryan made me want to research more into paper design. It's fascinating to see this growing trend of paper design in a highly digitized society, people returning to materials and process's that convey the spirit of the designer. There's something about hand production that makes the consumer feel closer to the designer, their product is a piece of them a window into their soul. Hand production also conveys a sense of inherited knowledge- techniques that are passed down- that brings the prodcut to life and gives the product a story.
We are the generation of facebook- children come home from school and imediately log on to facebook and speak to their friends who they have been with all day rather going out to play. Now designers are returning to hand production to gain back that relationship and interaction with their work.
Paper design speaks the most to me because it is so unbelievable, how can we have been neglecting such an obvious material source for so long? But also what designers are creating from paper...
AMAZING!!!
