Publisher's Synopsis
This work questions ingrained approaches, values, and assumptions of graphic design in globalised societies. It aims to initiate a dialogue between designers, scholars, critics, and commissioners, who investigate responsibilities, potentials, politics, limits, and risks of designing visual communication. How innocent is graphic design? Whom is it addressing, whom is it in/excluding? What does it bring about? It combines case studies and academic reflections, trying to sketch a common ground for basic research into the parameters and value systems of graphic design.
