Does It Make Sense?

Among the most formal designers of the collection, April Greiman was one of the earliest graphic designers to truly embrace digital tools and computer technology as means of creating design. The above work was created as a double-sided fold out for Design Quarterly magazine. Greiman created the work using MacDraw, a very early vector graphics software that was released on the very first Macintosh system in 1984, sort of a proto-Adobe Illustrator. Not unlike Hannah Höch, Greiman appropriated found images, often sourced from video, in order to obscure and distort the body, while also layering text and graphics.
