A brief was set out to design and manufacture a flag of an organisation/group/movement which lacks one, so this was a perfect opportunity to further historically explore the movement. In brief, they were an intellectually fuelled, non-violent, anti-Nazi underground student group, who are now recognised as heroes in Germany and beyond. They wrote and printed leaflets which were distributed anonymously throughout their university, to foster an anti-Hitler mentality. They also used graffiti to spread their message. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/intial_flags.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="623" width_o="1711" height_o="1593" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/intial_flags_o.jpg" align="left" /> My initial designs were inspired by the symbol of the rose with hidden elements inside to highlight their anonymity. It was also important and relevant to research other forms of anti-fascist symbology throughout the world. Every single element in the designs serve a purpose and have a reason, until finally it became narrowed down to one design. The peace dove's wing incorporates the three diagonals as a reference to a common way of marking over a swastika to conceal it; and the three hands acting as leaves of the rose, hint towards the religious trio, as a majority of the members were also highly influenced by Christianity. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/01.png" border="0" width="670" height="410" width_o="884" height_o="542" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/01_o.png" align="left" /> For the actual making of the flag, I chose to create a stencil motif. It represents the make-do attitude of the movement; they had to use whatever resources they could get their hands on, and a stencil is also something which could easily be sprayed onto walls with ease and then re-used elsewhere. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/02.jpg" border="0" width="648" height="484" width_o="648" height_o="484" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/02_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/04.jpg" border="0" width="648" height="484" width_o="648" height_o="484" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/04_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/03.jpg" border="0" width="648" height="484" width_o="648" height_o="484" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/03_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/05.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="476" width_o="680" height_o="484" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/19504/1860130/05_o.jpg" align="left" /> Designs drawn in Illustrator; Lasercut onto card & Sprayed onto flag fabric.Central Saint Martins BA Graphic Design project http://www.vicke.co.uk/Homage-to-the-Machine http://www.vicke.co.uk/following/vicke.co.uk/Homage-to-the-Machine Sun, 14 Aug 2011 00:05:02 +0000 VICKE CHEUNG 1858442 ul.slideshow_thumbs{display:none;} A moving image piece, commissioned by Harper Collins publishing for James Gleick's recently released enhanced e-book.
