One of the most vibrant of design practices, graphic design has undergone radical transformation in the last few years, affected by new technologies, new client demands and new channels for expression. Designers have responded by developing alternative ways of working across the face of creative practice. From large established studios to independent designers and collectives, Dialogue: Relationships in Graphic Design sheds light on the varied working practices of today's professionals. Through a series of case studies, Dialogue reveals the relationships behind a wide range of collaborations, from the fashion and music industries to ethically-driven advertising campaigns. With in-depth analysis of key projects, Dialogue unpacks graphic design, from pitch to finished project. Shaun Cole is Curator of Contemporary Programmes at the V&A, specializing in fashion and graphic design. Jane Pavitt, Series Editor, is the author of Brilliant (V&A 2004) and editor of Brand.New (V&A 2000).

Product Description:

The last 30 years have seen a revolution in the production of graphics. Computers have had a profound effect on an industry which previously relied on working by hand. Focusing on the collaboration between graphic designers and their clients, this forward-looking book takes account of the many different applications for graphic design: brand identity; retail; film; architecture; civic identity; fashion; art; exhibitions; magazines and books; and the web. Through interviews with the designers, the clients, commissioning bodies, consumers and critics, it will offer an insight into the practice of graphic design in today's global culture.
