The Design Of Dissent

By Glaser, Milton & Ilic, Mirko & Kushner, Tony

Publishers Summary:
With the world's economy being in such a slump, the Middle East's never ending conflict, and the war on terrorism, there is a heightened awareness in the world community of the many sides of the many issues that both directly and indirectly affect our lives. Increasingly, people are feeling powerless and underrepresented because they have no voice. Designers, however, have a voice. They are among the most influential bystanders because their skills enable them to communicate a message easily through the Web or through posters and printed pieces. A picture is worth a thousand words and designers have used this adage to their advantage for years by creating simple yet powerful designs that immediately convey the message to the viewer. The Design of Dissent will focus on graphic work that designers have made as a result of social and political concerns. The time is certainly ripe as the U.S., and world, flares in opposition on so many important issues.
