Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Illustrated Etymology is an intrigu­ing project by Adam Garcia.

Illustrated Etymology is just that — a col­lec­tion of visual cor­rel­a­tives to English word his­tory. These illus­tra­tions are an explo­ration, evo­lu­tion and cel­e­bra­tion of the his­tory and mean­ing of words and lan­guage. Each intre­pre­ta­tion is up to the indi­vid­ual artist, but most serve a “descrip­tive / infor­ma­tive” func­tion, whether abstract, fig­u­ra­tive or diagrammatic.
