Following the release of our World Series set of Themes, The Studio Blog offers a bit of behind the scenes info into what each series is really about! First up is Tom Muller from Belgium:
What was the idea behind your design?
I was looking to find a way to combine the flag colours, video games and London into one concept. As a Belgian living in London, and a frequent user of public transport I landed on the idea of video glitch patterns that equally owe their existence to 8-bit games and characteristic seating fabric of the London Underground.
What inspires you about your country?
The fact that Belgium, or Belgians rather, have had a bigger impact on the worlds of art, architecture, science and music than most people assume.
What three things best capture what your country is about?
The stereotypes are beer, french fries and chocolate. I can live with that, because they show that Belgians enjoy the good things in life.
If you could redesign one country's flag, what would it be and why?
Its a toss between the flags of Tuvalu and Fiji. Both look really unbalanced and I'm sure there are better ways to integrate those disparate elements.
What is your favourite flag?
I don't think I can pick one favourite. But the flag of Saint Lucia hits the sweet spot, closely followed by the Mongolian flag.
Did you watch the Olympics this year?
Obviously.
If you could pick one Olympic sport to compete in, what would it be?
I guess I'd be pretty decent at rowing.
