Hope to Nope: Graphics and Politics 2008 –18 Catalogue

£15.00

Quantity

‘Hope to Nope: Graphics and politics 2008 – 18’ shows how graphic design not only responds to political events, but can also challenge and even shape them. From the Great Recession of 2008, the Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill and the terrorist attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, to the Brexit referendum and the 2016 US presidential election that shocked the world, ‘Hope to Nope’ explores the role of graphic design in one of the most politically turbulent decades in recent history. As traditional media rubs shoulders with the hashtag and the meme, the influence and impact of graphic design has never been  reater or more international in its reach. North Korean propaganda, fake posts disseminated by Russian troll farms, a human billboard campaign against sexual harassment in China and anti-Zuma rallies from South Africa reflect how graphic design gives voice to political hopes and fears around the world. Alongside interviews with celebrated graphic designer Milton Glaser and street artist Shepard Fairey, the international designers and artists featured in this book include: Gorilla // Dread Scott // Edel Rodriguez // TEMPLO // ThoughtMatter // Michael Bierut // Sagmeister & Walsh // Marwan Shahin // Barnbrook // Metahaven

Own Label: Sainsburys Design Studio 1962 - 1977

£19.95

Quantity

A new expanded edition of this must-have book for all graphic designers When designer Peter Dixon joined the Sainsbury's Design Studio in 1962, he ignited a remarkable revolution in packaging. The British supermarket was developing its distinctive range of "own label" products, and Dixon's designs for the line catapulted Sainsbury's to the graphic forefront: simple, stripped down, creative, and completely different from what had gone before The striking modernity of the new Sainsbury's look pushed the boundaries of high-street graphic design, reflecting a period full of postwar optimism. It also helped build Sainsbury's into a brand giant, the first real British "super" market of the time Produced in collaboration with the Sainsbury family and the Sainsbury Archive in London, Own Label examines and celebrates this paradigm shift that redefined packaging design An essential book for graphic designers and those interested in cultural nostalgia from the 1960s and 1970s, Own Label offers a unique historical insight into how the foods we ate were packaged for our consumption
