Borders: Invasive Making II

Example of what I might like to make:

I think because I am struggling so much with the word “invasive” and how to define it, I might try to tackle it in a way that forces me and the user to think through the use of the word itself, kind of like in a branding bible. When branding agencies make logos, etc. for companies to use, they will often provide a “graphics standards” manual to help the company with the correct usage of the work. I thought this might apply to “how to use the word ‘invasive’” as well.

There are a lot of examples of this kind of work; I am partial to the older graphics standards manuals, but there are a lot of kind of silly ones out in the world as well that have things like DO NOT: and then different ways that a logo has been butchered. This might be interesting to try to do with the word INVASIVE itself.

Otherwise, I might make a series of existential posters with text that ask the same questions that I am asking myself.
