Author and design expert Steven Heller has revisited and revised the popular classic Design Literacy by revising many of the thoughtful essays from the original and mixing in thirty-two new works. Each essay offers a taste of the aesthetic, political, historical, and personal issues that have engaged designers from the late nineteenth century to the present—from the ubiquitous (the swastika, antiwar posters) to the whimsical (MAD magazine parodies). The essays are organized into eight thematic categories—persuasion, mass media, language, identity, information, iconography, style, and commerce. This revised edition also highlights recent trends in graphic design such as aesthetic changes in typography in the digital age and the nexus between graphic design and wired culture. This is an eclectic look at how, why, and if graphic design influences our ever-evolving, diverse world. Allworth Press, an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing, publishes a broad range of books on the visual and performing arts, with emphasis on the business of art. Our titles cover subjects such as graphic design, theater, branding, fine art, photography, interior design, writing, acting, film, how to start careers, business and legal forms, business practices, and more. While we don't aspire to publish a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are deeply committed to quality books that help creative professionals succeed and thrive. We often publish in areas overlooked by other publishers and welcome the author whose expertise can help our audience of readers.

Design has always been a visionary pursuit and a visionary practice - one that projects the future while remaining deeply grounded in the past and the present. Design is also a socio-cultural practice. The link between vision as a mental activity - imagining a future - and its accomplishment in the world - the building of the imagined future - is design. Design's principal focus is the making of things, whether material entities, virtually produced material entities, or fully virtual entities. Because design's principal enterprise is the making of things that operate in the world - a world unfolding - design is an agent of the future. Design as a literacy is a way of envisioning, thinking and acting simultaneously in the world and is, therefore, applicable to any discipline, field or profession. It has the capacity to catalyze innovations in one's own field, and as a platform, it has the capacity to catalyze distinctive innovation across many fields. We believe it is an essential literacy for the re-calibration of our educational system if we want to prepare our students to both thrive and have agency in their future.Beyond design for making things (good design = beautiful useful things), and design for innovation (good design = distinctly new beautiful and useful things), design shapes contexts for things to happen. Design is a foundational way for encountering, seeing, understanding, and operating in the material world. It absorbs the complexity of the world because it vigorously pursues the relationship between things and the contexts in which they are embedded. These contexts are complex and they are socio-technological in nature. The way we use things is integrally linked to why we use them. But design is also a powerful tool for working on the world as well as in it. Design has a capacity to make things that resonate. Resonance means that there is a strong relationship of exchange. Resonating in the world can lead to change on the world.This book was begun as a quest to decode the DNA of design so as to advance a discussion of design and design literacy in much broader terms. But it was also begun with a strong suspicion that a clearer understanding of this DNA might allow us to think about design in an expanded way and for expanded purpose in an increasingly complex world. Believing that design has a greater role to play than ever before, we set out to figure out how. We looked at examples where design has gone beyond making things for purpose and meaning to actually facilitating processes of transformation through systems of action that work on changing the context itself. In these examples certain characteristics of the DNA have been amplified and the dynamics between characteristics have been altered.Writing from the perspectives of an architect and of an innovation orchestrator, this book consists of thoughts and conversations between the authors. These conversations are presented as frames for further exchange, exploration, and experimentation. Rather than 'hard science', these are a multi-faceted set of related thoughts and ideas, intended to recalibrate the conversation around design in a manner that recognizes existing voices but adds a different set of perspectives. And finally, while meaning to be speculative, this book also intends to contribute at a pragmatic level by suggesting pathways into thinking, creating, and acting so as to affect change in complex contexts and systems. Acting is critical. Acting creates change, which can then be critically assessed relative to the impact and resonance of intended and unintended consequences.

This ethnography of a live-action role play (LARP) community examines the structure of play, how new participants are introduced and apprenticed into the culture, player expectations and motivations, and games as they are designed and as they are performed. The main focus is on LARP's affordance for learning across a variety of disciplines and interests. The book is intended for LARP participants, academics interested in play or in collaborative development, those interested in new uses of familiar learning environments, and game developers with an interest in creating games with highly interactive narratives and co-creative play experiences in which the role of designer and player is blurred.

Reading Graphic Design in Cultural Context explains key ways of understanding and interpreting the graphic designs we see all around us, in advertising, branding, packaging and fashion. It situates these designs in their cultural and social contexts. Drawing examples from a range of design genres, leading design historians Grace Lees-Maffei and Nicolas P. Maffei explain theories of semiotics, postmodernism and globalisation, and consider issues and debates within visual communication theory such as legibility, the relationship of word and image, gender and identity, and the impact of digital forms on design. Their discussion takes in well-known brands like Alessi, Nike, Unilever and Tate, and everyday designed things including slogan t-shirts, car advertising, ebooks, corporate logos, posters and music packaging.
