In this video from the Design Indaba, Harry Pearce talks about his journey down The Schizophrenic Road, the visual games he likes to play and his ongoing interest in conundrums. He also touches on how the spaces between buildings can be as important as the buildings themselves and the similarities between architecture and typography. You'll also learn about his work for the human rights organisation Witness, together with Peter Gabrielle, and turning campaigns into graphic statements. Useful uselessness and the magic of dreams and ideas is what drives Harry Pearce’s graphic design work.
