Futurism

There are great number of words in design that define a specific style. I want to focus on Futurism today. Futurism is nothing new. It started at the beginning of 20th century when the idea of technology taking over the world didn't exist yet. The industrial revolution gave a great inspiration and imagination to modern artists. With rise of new machines and large machines, artists looked away from usual, common nature scenes and looked into the man-made shapes. A great artist and musician from the birth of Futurism era, Luigi Russolo, gave birth to a theory of electronic music and collection of unnatural and abstact noise. His work often show shapes of a "noise machine." 

A century later, and it seems like graphic artists are still obsessed with something unnatural and machine-like. But after all, human technology is just as natural as honey bee's creations. And who else is better to give an example of our obsession with shapes than Simon Page, a self-taught graphic designer from the UK.
