How can research findings, personal experiences, and complex ideas be translated into a concise visual identity?
45 Symbols—Clay to Code examines how emerging artists and designers develop systematic approaches to a visual language, inspired by one of the most enigmatic objects in media history: the 3,700-year-old, still-undeciphered Phaistos Disc, embossed with 45 distinct symbols. The works present a range from personal narratives to global themes and demonstrate how an original visual grammar can be constructed.
Over more than a decade, the internationally hosted design seminar series The Phaistos Project—Forty-five Symbols have evolved into a global community—driven by open calls, workshops, exhibitions, and risograph publications. This volume, 45 Symbols—Clay to Code, brings together over 2,000 symbols as the result of this collaborative endeavor. It stands not only as a living archive of research inquiries but also as a testament to collective experimentation, bold visions, and the expression of intercultural dialogue.
The contributions are organized into five thematic fields:
I. Traces of everyday life, material culture, and the domestic archive
II. Planetary surfaces, landscape as archive, and the ecological memory of the Anthropocene
III. Politics of language, symbols of protest, and collective transformation
IV. Cultural scripts, spiritual codes, and visual identity
V. Speculative alphabets, linguistic flux, and future archives
This book aims to both inspire and provide hands-on methods for developing skills in visual storytelling, documentation, and reflection practice that foster authentic, systematic, and distinctive personal outcomes.

I'm an avid fan of Lenny Bruce. The man truly understood the power of words. That is why when redesigning How to Talk Dirty and Influence People, I chose to create a type portrait of Lenny made of some of his famous quotes and quotes about him.

Screen display cover for Don't Bet on the Prince: Contemporary Feminist Fairy Tales in North America and England ed. by Jack Zipes. Cover designed by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale.
The Concept
In the world of Orwell’s 1984, the individual is not important. Rewriting the past in order to control the future, world domination, the Party and Oceania are the only things that matter. I wanted the design to convey the same themes: war, censorship, propaganda, absolute obedience and brainwashing.
The treatment of the image is suppose to convey a dreary feeling and by masking the face of the subject, he is no longer important. I deliberately placed white space across the cover at eye level to accentuate the theme of censorship. The general concept is “you don’t matter!” The font font I am using is Telegrafico. I chose this font because of it’s large counter and sharp edges which give the font a stern and rigid feel.
