Trust design, designing trust
To what extent can a font influence the credibility of a message? Is information in a data graphic automatically more trustworthy? Which objects that we encounter in everyday life already have an inherent trust? How is it visually reinforced?
This 200-page book produced as part of my BA thesis at the University of the Arts Berlin, investigates trust and design through a collection of texts and visual interventions. The work invites readers to consider not only what is communicated, but how its form shapes our perception and evaluation of its content.
