Flag Stories https://flagstories.co ![](https://m.stacker.news/119586) # Yes, we like flags. We like them a lot. Actually, we are so fascinated by flags that we decided to explore them in every possible way in order to share our fascination with you. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119587) ### Why? Sure, there are a lot of books and websites covering the different aspects of flags like history, demography and culture, through heavy text, but we wanted to add new aspects to this field by only looking at the graphics and telling the story visually. So we started this Flag Stories project to discover the hidden stories behind the graphics. ### How? Basically we started looking at all the flags in the world and squeezed all the data we could possibly gather in to a blank spreadsheet. The more we dug into it, the more stories we managed to reveal, so our plan is to keep digging and continuously adding new stories to the project. Wikipedia has been our most used source for information, but you will find the specific source list for each visual at the bottom of the page. We have included flags of the UN member states. ### Who? We are ferdio - an infographic agency in Copenhagen transforming data and information into captivating visuals. So this project is pretty representative of our client based projects: adding value to data and information by telling visual stories that inform and inspire. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119602) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119590) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119591) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119592) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119593) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119594) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119595) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119596) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119597) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119598) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119599) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119600)

 ![](https://m.stacker.news/119581) You’d think that by 2025 I would be sick of anything addressing the “future” by now. Having lived through the 60s through 90s visionary predictions of a pessimistic future – and having been a Philip K. Dick fan until well into the 2000s – I’ve had more than enough dystopian predictions come true. I look at the future as a fearsome spectre, which should mean that any symbolic references must cause me to feel the sting of future shock. Nevertheless, I continue to be fascinated with futuristic art and design. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119582) Dot-matrix letterforms tend to have a nostalgic air dating back to the 80s and the initial digital typographic era. They may also seem quaint – if not passe – by standards of today. However, van Rosmalen’s mathematically precise design, notably in the Cyrillic version, brings the future-past into the future-present. The structure of Archive Matrix in larger sizes is decidedly modern; in smaller weights it feels like letters on a primordial computer screen. Either way, it works well. It may seem, at first glance, that there are limited applications for Archive Matrix, but that ignores its uncanny potential for adding movement to a text.

 ![](https://m.stacker.news/119442) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119443) Bringing two concepts we usually regard as antithetical, visual designer Carlo Bramanti examines how design and conspiracy theory intersect in their practices and output. Design is generally perceived as a discipline that makes the complex intelligible; it illustrates reliable facts and streamlines information. Conspiracy theories, on the other hand, stretch facts to their most grotesque limits; they create chaos and confusion. And yet, for Bramanti, both attempt to address the same human aspiration for meaning and order. Design (in particular information design) and conspiracy theory, he says, share a tendency to think in terms of large-scale systems. They both look for strong and seductive narratives that will reveal “the bigger picture”. Designers process vast amounts of information and synthesise them in an engaging way. To do so, they look for patterns and new connections, which makes them vulnerable to conspiracy. But while design strives to “raise awareness”, conspiracy theory talks about “awakening”. Bramanti finds the connections between design and conspiracy theory so compelling that he coined a term for the common ground that they share: Conspiratorial Design. ![](https://m.stacker.news/119444) ![](https://m.stacker.news/119445)

In the sea of sameness
In the sea of sameness
On authenticity
 ![](https://m.stacker.news/119439) Finding a soul in this world seems to be a rare quality these days, especially in software-internet-land. - Every app looks the same. - Every website looks the same. - Every process looks the same. The rise of Tailwind, design system templates, and other dev frameworks has made it easier than ever to achieve visually appealing designs, often without the need for a designer’s hands. Out-of-the-box components, elegant icons, and ready-to-apply CSS are now within reach for whoever desires. This abundance has made programming life easier while speeding up the design process, but it also appears to dull creative thinking. Alongside trends that come and go, sameness has become the default state. The spark of the past has faded in many aspects, far beyond the digital sphere: quirky tech brand logos have turned banal, social networks media wear the same interface, and web design is.. well, web design.
