DESCRIPTION:
Michael K Tatum said Gives You a New Perspective on How Things Around You are Designed. I loved this book and I've been interested in the topic since it was first mentioned by another author I really like. It's not very dense, I could have easily read the whole thing in one sitting. It has a lot of pictures and talks about controversial design from a variety of case studies. I like how he took something that could have easily been boring and academic, and made it into a fun read.. Recommended read for anyone in a 'creative field' Amazon Customer Excellent book, I would recommend to anyone looking for a brief introduction to many interesting topics of conversation. Well put together and included accessible language.. Ellen K. Lupton said Change your perspective!. This engaging book starts a new conversation about graphic design. The global perspective turns around your assumptions. This is a great book for students. Every designer should read it!
Design, after all, cannot be disconnected from the values and assumptions in which it was created, from the ideologies behind it”, which makes this (not so) global manual” a valuable aid, both for creators and consumers, to understanding design in the context of its easily overlooked political meaning and to ensuring we deal with that context more responsibly in the future.”- Form Magazine Germany"Ruben Pater’s unpacking of the politics that underscores most design is a 21st Century companion to Quentin Fiore and Marshall McLuhan&
It is a practical guide for design and communication professionals and students to create more effective and responsible visual communication.We all know the power of propaganda and how it’s always strictly related to a memory of a specific symbol, typography and colour. The Politics of Design shows the importance of visual literacy when communicating across borders and cultures. This book can be used as a manual filled with realities alerts a designer should be aware so that he doesn’t end up in misconceptions of cultural differences and actually make this asymmetries work in his favour.
