I'd seen the work of Herbert Bayer (b. 1900 Austria graphic designer, painter, architect and photographer) quite a few times but there was something about his series of paintings "Seven Convolutions' that I really grabbed my attention. The one posted at the top here reminds me of how migrating birds fly together, which is something that has always fascinated me. Whilst researching Bayer I also found a few typefaces he designed (the one above is called Universal) and some photomontages, one of which was blatantly ripped off on the last Chemical Brothers CD cover. I'm thinking about doing some work based on the alphabet systems he developed.
