1915-1980This guy was a French literary critic, literary and social theorist, philosopher and semiotician. I know what most of those are however the main thing that drew me to him was his view on creative writing. The piece of work that I am referring to is his the death of the author, which explores the idea that nothing in writing is original due to the fact that it is made up of unoriginal parts. This is a very interesting idea and can be related to graphic design. We tend to use the same media for a lot of our work but is this actually limiting the originality of the piece? Our concepts seems to be limited to the fact that they have to be presented in a certain way, one that is understandable by our target audience.
Then again if something is too original we may not understand it at all...so where do we draw the line?
