IdN Magazine: V16N1 : the craft issue: handy graphics


INTRODUCTION
Feature: Keeping their hand in Craft design in its contemporary manifestation usually involves building or creating something by hand, in three dimensions, and then presenting it in 2D, via the computer or the camera. Those designers who specialize in it say they love being “hands-on”, that the feel of real material between their fingers
and the inevitable imperfections of the process make it more exciting than purely digital work. It has its drawbacks – mistakes cannot be rectified with a click of the keyboard and it tends to be time-consuming – but its advocates feel passionately that there is, metaphorically as well as literally, an extra dimension to it. Read what they have to say about their art- and view the result.
