Hermeneutics, the study of meaning and interpretation, has its origin in the Greek verb hermeneuein (to interpret), which has its derivation in the name of Hermes, the Olympian messenger god. We love this idea of meaning needing a carrier. As well, the symbol of Hermes, who carried the messages of the Gods, being himself a sort of trickster — pointing to the need for interpretation (and thus the trickiness of meaning, generally). We find a similar emphasis or play or laying bare of this meaning/carrier dynamic throughout designer Ilaria Golin’s site and work — like meaning carried by typography and graphic arrangement — something like the designer as messenger.
