“The Big Brother State is an educational film about what politicians claim to be protection of our freedom but what we refer to as repressive legislation.
Since terrorism has become a global threat, especially after 9/11, governments all over the world have started enforcing laws which, so the governments say, should increase national security.
These laws obviously aim at another goal: the states gaining more and more control of their citizens at the cost of our privacy and freedom.”
“Pictograms - those simple signs or icons that relay their information effortlessly. Weâre surrounded by thousands of them every day, and PingMag took graphic designer Kazuhisa Yamamoto a.k.a. Donny Grafiks for a walk around Tokyoâs streets picking up some favourites. After his presentation of pictogram designs at last yearâs DesignTide we knew he was the right man for the job.”
“This is an online survey to research the existing public symbols and pictogram standards. In the list each topic or theme has four visual answers, please choose the most easily identifiable sign from the rows.”
