Second Hand Life
Second Hand Life is a poster series about the way people receive fragmented information. The series contains twenty A3 posters, arranged to form one main visual, and is accompanied by a mounted and bound book. Language is turned into visual graphics through binary code, where the symbols one and zero also stand for true and false in logical operations. This link reflects how judgement is shaped by the information that is accepted. The posters and the book ask for closer attention to a social issue, because a fragmented view of information can replace a complete one.

The A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which celebrates superior design of logos, posters, infographics, brochures, packaging designs, business cards, book covers, billboards and more.
