Multiple Influences
At the end of their academic journey, students from the Graphic Design graduate department at the Rhode Island School of Design are asked to design and write a book to present their thesis, a series of works and essays defining their practice as designers.
Developed over two years, this thesis is a commitment to rebuild an intimate and more rewarding relationship with language through conscious negotiation with our tools.
The result of a fascination for the relationship between language and the tools shaping it, Multiple Influences explores how our devices—pens, keyboards, smartphones—make language visible and affect its forms and structures.
