Woodrow Phoenix Profile
Design Week profiles the multitalented (using the word in the most expansive sense) Woodrow Phoenix.
Today, Phoenix’s philosophy is equally classical and almost logocentric, since he considers a clear narrative more important than visual pyrotechnics. ‘This applies especially in comics because they’re ultimately about storytelling,’ he says. ‘If people cannot follow the story, it’s no good. Drawings can hurt a story if they dominate it. The importance of legibility in graphic design was drummed into me at college, and it’s something I still agree with.’
Some really interesting work from an exceptionally talented and motivated man.
Also worth a browse is Woodrow’s Flickr Stream of a recent book tour in India.
