PHILOSOPHY
Definings ‘isms’ with Design
Genis Carreras, a Spanish graphic designer
who is based in London, took on the challenging
task of ‘explaining big ideas in simple shapes’.
Philographics was thus born as a kind of
visual dictionary of philosophy, merging huge
philosophical concepts with the clean, simple
aesthetics of graphic design. It has since met with
so much success and popularity on the Internet
that the designs are now physically available for
fans as a box of postcards or a book, both featuring
95 philosophical theories and designs.
