For the past week, I've been catching up on movies that I really want to see. Yesterday I watched Memories of Murder and remembered how this medium has always influenced me. When I was doing my bachelor's degree, one of the first tasks a professor gave us was to go watch Inglourious Basterds in theaters and dissect it from a design perspective. I believe that exercise was essential to understanding the basics of design. The use of typography, composition, color combination, framing... All of that is used meticulously, and yesterday I was reminded of that. The medium we work in isn't simply visual. It should convey a message. That graphics follow strategy, and that we should be influenced by several art forms, not simply the one we work in.
