Designgraphik 1.31

Designgraphik is the brainchild of Michael Paul Young, a renowned figure in the world of design. With a global footprint that includes impressive showcases such as the 500,000 LED pixels display for U2’s 360° Tour and a towering 70-foot projection on Richard Meier’s The Hague City Hall, Young's innovative work has garnered prestigious accolades such as the Clio and the Cannes Gold Cyber Lion. He has been a distinguished speaker at esteemed design conferences and festivals around the world.

• In the early days of the digital age, Young sought a platform to push the boundaries of online art, leading to the establishment of Designgraphik along with websites like Submethod and Vir2l. Through an array of mediums including digital platforms, print media, and various hard media avenues, his focus remained on pushing boundaries and experimenting within controlled presentation settings of his own creation.
• Designgraphik played a pivotal role in sculpting online design trends during the late 90s and early 2000s. Garnering nominations and wins across multimedia and online design awards, Young eventually bid farewell to the Designgraphik moniker in 2010.
• Fast forward to 2020, amidst a digital landscape characterized by widespread accessibility and uniformity, Young has resurrected Designgraphik alongside its original ethos. By once again curating his work in controlled environments of his own making, Young reintroduces Designgraphik in an era where online art faces commodification and transience within corporate infrastructures.
• The embodiment of this revival is represented in an application that showcases Young's Designgraphik portfolio in high resolution within a bespoke gallery setting – a platform offered free of charge.
