Peter Saville is one of the founding partner of Factory Records and a graphic designer. He's
interviewed by MocoLoco, a design related website.
Mocoloco: How are graphic design and object design related, if it all?
Peter Saville: Not at all really. Graphic design is communications
design, which means that primarily it’s for others to others. Object
design has the capacity to be personally motivated, very rarely does
graphic design provide that opportunity. It is a communications medium,
so if you’re expressing yourself you need initially to be the author of
that which you wish to express – therefore you will be a writer, a
storyteller, or an image maker first - then you may use the medium of
graphic design to express that which you intend.
