Designs on your phone bill
Posted by Mark Sinclair, 2 August 2007, 12:50 Permalink Comments (1)
In a few weeks' time, we'll be presenting our annual round up of the best student work from the recent degree shows here in the UK. There'll be a selection of work in the magazine and also on the blog. As a taster, here's one project that caught our eye at the Central Saint Martins BA Graphic Design show: Japanese student Maki Miura's rather charming reinterpretation of the ubiquitous mobile phone bill...
Miura decided to display the typical billing details of calling made and received in an innovatively playful way (using numerical characters to add a bit of fun to what amounts to a fairly dull area of graphic design) and designed pages depicting examples of a "top three favourite numbers", "the top three words used in SMS messages", "calling habits" and "the most important people you spoke to this month".
*Miura has asked us to point out that the project was in no way connected to Vodafone or related to any brief from the company – it's purely a mock-up.
