1980Sears Catalog

1980Sears Catalog - Smooth paper is suitable for fine details, while rougher paper holds more graphite and is better for shading. It is in the deconstruction of this single, humble sample that one can begin to unravel the immense complexity and cultural power of the catalog as a form, an artifact that is at once a commercial tool, a design object, and a deeply resonant mirror of our collective aspirations. For larger appliances, this sticker is often located on the back or side of the unit, or inside the door jamb. It gave me the idea that a chart could be more than just an efficient conveyor of information; it could be a portrait, a poem, a window into the messy, beautiful reality of a human life. The introduction of purl stitches in the 16th century expanded the creative potential of knitting, allowing for more complex patterns and textures.

In graphic design, this language is most explicit. Inevitably, we drop pieces of information, our biases take over, and we default to simpler, less rational heuristics. Analyzing this sample raises profound questions about choice, discovery, and manipulation. It fulfills a need for a concrete record, a focused tool, or a cherished object. And then, a new and powerful form of visual information emerged, one that the print catalog could never have dreamed of: user-generated content.
