The Warfare of Deception started out as a personal project that I was able to adapt and re-interpret for a group show titled, Duplicate of a Duplicate. When initially concepting for the show, I was challenged by the over-arching idea of duplicating a duplicate and how to convey that visually. My thinking was initially consumed with some (rather expected) solutions of repetition and pattern, but ultimately my executions fell flat. At some point I had a shift in my focus and addressed the problem in terms of how one goes about actually creating a duplicate of a duplicate and what is the original source of what’s being duplicated. Eventually, the idea of a covert operation started to take the form, where the main objective was to duplicate secret documents. Out of this concept came 7 posters, which ultimately form a Basic Field Guide consisting of 6 sections: Survival, Objective, Protocol, Safety, First Aid, and Communication (Communication is based on a Flag & Dash & Dot alphabet using HUSTLE as an example.)
These are 12″x18″ prints on generic brown school paper using archival inks.
I think i just had a visual orgasm. This work features everything i want to do at some point over this module. Well laid out type, simplistic vector imagery, limited colour and an interesting stock choice. Perfect.
It also goes to show there is nothing wrong with hyphenation
