Does it make sense?


We looked at this poster today in Comm. "April Greiman developed a new design approach and, in 1986 she used the Macintosh computer's rudimentary capabilities to create an issue of the journal Design Quarterly, entitled Does it make sense? This notable issue has since become one of the key staging posts in the evolution of graphic design. She re-imagined the magazine as a poster that folded out to almost 3x6 feet. It contained a life-size, MacVision-generated image of her outstretched naked body adorned with symbolic images and text— a provocative gesture which emphatically countered the objective, rational and masculine tendencies of modernist design."
