9780500282977: Restart: New Systems in Graphic Design

Synopsis

A complete overview of where graphic design is going, Restart presents a radical body of work that is redefining the nature and scope of design practice. An introduction establishes the creative and design background against which this new work is emerging. The book's core is the work of over 35 international studios, which is presented in three categories: Code, how designers are shedding the restraints imposed on them by using the computer as a tool to become creative programmers, thereby discovering worlds of extreme beauty; Generic shows designers who manipulate the ordinary and everyday to produce projects that are off-beat and refreshing, yet strangely familiar; Disjunction features work that aims to provoke and to question, to advance a designer's particular agenda, whether political, social, aesthetic or even personal.
