Vernacular

In order for designers to be able to take a critical view of contemporary life (we) need to find a place to speak from within culture, and not position ourselves outside or above it.

Why do we use vernacular?
-spontaneous, unpretentious voice
-an aura of authenticity
-a connection with youth culture
-an association with subculture
-nostalgic appreciation of history
