Introducing Source Material — Figma's weekly series where the designers & creatives shaping culture share the references that shaped them. A look past the finished work and into the objects, books, ideas and oddities that actually inform how they think.
Our next guest is Ben Ganz! The Swiss-born designer and creative director behind Pin Up Magazine, Ben Ganz takes us through the references that inform his multidisciplinary practice. From experimental typography and printed matter to architecture, furniture and fashion, Ben explores how materials, systems and unexpected connections can shape new visual worlds, and how ideas move between graphic design, publishing and physical objects.
