LA-based graphic designed Jonathan Jarvis created this smart and aesthetically pleasing video on the current economic ‘crisis.’ This project was done as part of his thesis work in the Media Design Program at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
It is to be expected that artists of all kinds will be inspired by the current social and economic times and be creating work based on it. This benefits us, the public, who can make a little more sense of the crazy world we live in through these creative works.
This video is a great learning tool for those of us who find ‘economic talk’ confusing!
