PHILOGRAPHICS BY GENÍS CARRERAS

Philographics is all about explaining big ideas in simple shapes. I started the project 2 years ago with the intention to merge the world of philosophy and graphic design, and it has since received some internet popularity. In the beginning it was a set 24 posters, explaining philosophical theories like Dualism, Free Will, Existentialism or Idealism using only shapes and colour. But so many important ‘isms’ were left out that I decided to add more designs to the collection.

Today the project consists of 95 designs, each of them depicting a different `ism` using a unique combination of geometric shapes, colors and a short definition of the theory. I’ve spent the last 6 months working full-time on this project in my studio in Dalston, London with the goal of creating an image for each of the world’s most important ‘isms’ and putting them all together in some sort of visual dictionary of philosophy.

“It takes the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy 28,250 words to explain the woolly concept of relativism. It takes Genis Carreras 32 words and a single image. If you ask me, he doesn’t even need the text.” — Co.Design
