🗽study iconography

I think about iconography a lot, I have multiple twitter threads about them. I’ll eventually expand this into a blogpost and probably subsequently do a youtube video about them too.

The core thing that makes me obsessed about iconography is the idea that you can reverse-engineer successful icons, and create icons in the public domain. This is something at the intersection of advertising, marketing, PR, oratory, nation-building, world building, everything.

this is now a thread about iconic visuals

first some, supporting evidence that eilish actually got this done

this is not an easy feat!! a lot of more successful artists (i'm thinking maybe even rihanna and beyonce?? or mariah carey, etc?) don't have such iconic images pic.twitter.com/Ji8UrBQroX
