Mr. Bingo Do Lecture

Today we watched a Do Lecture by Mr. Bingo and the '29 things he's learnt'

Overall, Mr. Bingo works and has worked in various different fields in design from illustration, branding to packaging. Through his lecture his emphasised the fact that he is his own person and doesn't really work for anyone. He creates designs that satisfies him. He creates designs that his audience can participate and interact with e.g. writing hate postcard mails to people, where they pay him money for him to send them hate mail. I think this works as it began to grow, I think more people wanted to be 'included' in that little group or niche and for his audience to feel like they have talked to him on a personal level. It may also act as kind of like a collectable and the fact that he creates different illustrations for each person makes it unique as its 'one of a kind' and different from everyone else, increasing its value and more people will likely to want to have one. I also liked to fact that his is persistent and try out different methods in order for his work to work out in the end, and how he has used his connections to his advantage and created work that is authentic and unique through his humour and wit. He also adopts to new trends and what is new therefore making his designs fresh and innovative each time.
