linguisten:If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world | by spindlemoss, Feb 23 2015 This poster was a response to a brief on language whilst studying at Central SaintMartins College of Art and Design (University of the Arts, London).

The reader can track the wordorder in different languages by identifying which word each colour is assigned to.Catriona Maciver is a Scottish designer working in Scotland and India. Language has played a significant role in her work throughout college and continues to be an area of interest. -- source link
