FEATURES

Art Chantry
Graphic design is a fold art whose best practitioners are often anonymous and whose best examples may be deceptively rough or naive. It is individuals striving against really oppressive odds who make graphics interesting, not guys in universities.

Steven Heller
Merz to Emigre: Avant-Guarde Magazine Design of the Twentieth Century
surveys the paper stage of the last 100 years of radical publication design and typography. Without paper there could, argubly, be no avant-guarde, but without an avant-guarde, paper would have be less volatile.

Paula Scher
In Make It Bigger, Paula Scher skewers both the academic and business approaches to design.

Hell No!: Designers and War
What could artists and designers have done to influence the President not to make war? And once involved what were the options for protest?

Peter Saville
Peter Saville is the kind of designer people build legends around. For the past two decades he has been making work that excites us in unique and surprising ways.

Pierre Bernard
As a founder of the design collective Grapus, Pierre Bernard fought the idea that culture is elitist and that politics are dirty and useless. Now Pierre and his studio apply the same philosophy to professional graphic design.
