Old Research

I was recently going through some old research files. Every once in a while a folder goes unorganized for quite a while. As in these cases, I don't really remember any more where I got the images or what I was looking for when I found them. Here are some that I held on to because I find they still have some kind of relevance...
Robert Frank
Woman dressed as angel, circa 1918 via corbis

Edward Curtis
The Angel of Mons Valse Score Cover by Paul Paree, 1914
Golden Eagle Wing by Niall Benvie circa 1990
From Numéro 82 by Camilla Akrans
 
an editorial page that I got from the much missed website (HFGL)
Pati Smith by Lynn Goldsmith 1977 via corbis
unknown

there are more and more, but the real question I was asking myself that launched the overall search was how does one take all that is function, as in an overall, and make it make sense for anyone not walking towards the tractor or the assembly line.
Function and Fashion are two things that are so often linked, but so rarely balanced. You are inevitably sacrificing one or the other. So that is the question- what is the base line that needs to be set in between the two so that the designs can be built up from there without skewing to one side or the other?
